KISHTWAR, Oct 29: Senior Congress leader and MLA Inderwal, Ghulam Mohammad Saroori today addressed party meeting from Tehsil Thakrie, Sarthal, Phigsoo, Thathri, Khara and Bhalessa areas in Kishtwar.
“We have to make our party strong at each level so that we win the Assembly election with good success and take Jammu and Kashmir State forward. You should keep this enthusiasm and feel alive because now the time for the test on cards,” Saroori said.
He told workers that results of the Parliamentary elections won’t be repeated in Assembly elections.
“I feel Parliament results won’t have any impact on the Assembly. There are 16 to 20 MLAs in a Parliamentary constituency and the candidate has no touch with the Assembly segments and there are local issues involved too. I feel that leads in the Assembly segments in parliamentary polls won’t matter in the Assembly elections. It will depend upon the candidate who is more popular in a particular segment. The number of candidates in a particular Assembly constituency will also impact the results. I don’t think the result in Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir during the Parliamentary polls will be repeated in J&K Assembly election”, Saroori said.
Other speakers listed the steps taken by Mr. Saroori during the last 12 years for the Inderwal Assembly segment besides highlighted the Congress vision for development, peace and prosperity in the State.
Prominent among those present on the occasion were Sarfraz Khan (Gillu), Mohd Iqbal Teli, Asgar Khangi, Mohd Latief Mughal, Abdul Razak Hajam, Abdul Kareem Malik, Mohd Rafiq Teli, Mohd Ashraf, Abdul Hafiz, Noor Mohd, Mohd Hanief, Irshad Ahmed Malik, and others.
