JAMMU, Apr 7: Bahujan Samaj Party is continuously intensifying its election campaign for the Jammu Reasi- Lok Sabha seat for which polls are being held on April 26.
The Bahujan Samaj Party JKUT president Darshan Rana along party candidate Jagdish Verma visited Jammu North areas including- Seri, Amb, Karmanda, Bantalab and appealed to the people to vote for BSP in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
Several other party leaders also accompanied them. Party president raised the issue of only eight percent reservation for Other Backward Class (OBC) people in Jammu and Kashmir and said that Bahujan Samaj Party is continuously demanding that under the Mandal Commission, at least 27 percent reservation should be given to OBC category people in J&K.
Rana said that BSP is continuously expressing its reaction regarding this issue and pressure is being put on the Government. He also raised the issue of non-release of dues to the contractors who provided material for the development works done in 2016-17 under the MNREGA scheme and said that even today these contractors have not been given the dues by the Government.
BSP UT chief said that the public should contribute in making the BSP candidate successful in the elections.
