SRINAGAR Mar 30: In connection with upcoming Lok Sabha elections, the Aam Aadmi Party activists organized a public rally at Mehjoor Nagar in Amira Kadal Assembly segment, today.
The rally was attended by hundreds of AAP volunteers including its leader Dr Raja Muzaffar Bhat, who is also the party candidate from Srinagar Parliament seat. While speaking at the public gathering at Mehjoor Nagar, Dr Raja Muzaffar Bhat said that National Conference sold out power projects to National Hydro Electric Power Corporation (NHPC) which has rendered Jammu & Kashmir State as a salve State. He said that J&K State gets mere 12 % share from NHPC as royalty and this is totally injustice with the people of State.
“If I am send to Lok Sabha by the people of Srinagar, Budgam and Ganderbal, I will take up the NHPC issue with full force at various forums , as the Aam Aadmi Party leadership including Arvind Kejriwal has already given his full support to me on this issue. I will ensure
J&K State gets 70 to 80 % as royalty from NHPC so that our State not only becomes self sufficient with regard to power but our state can even export power to other neighboring states “said Dr Muzaffar.
On the occasion a noted social and political activist Malik Asif Noor joined Aam Aadmi Party along with his scores of volunteers. Later on the AAP volunteers went door to door to seek votes from people in Mehjoor Nagar, Jawahar Nagar and Rajbagh areas.
