JAMMU, Nov 2: Senior Congress leader, Minister for Housing, Culture and Horticulture and MLA Gandhi Nagar constituency Raman Bhalla said that Congress is committed to protect and prioritize interests of the Jammu and Kashmir and live example of that was sanctioning of medical colleges, hospitals, upgradation of educational infrastructure and electrification of unelectrified areas.
Minister said this, while addressing party workers meeting in Sainik Colony, which was attended by large number of party workers including ex-corporators, block presidents, district general secretaries, secretaries, Sarpanchs, Panchs, etc.

Taking a dig over People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Bhalla said that when the developmental activities were in full bloom in the entire State, PDP felt insecure of Azad’s popularity and prioritized its own political interests rather than giving peace and prosperity a chance to flourish in Jammu and Kashmir.

Adequate water supply was also made available to the people of the area by laying pipes, installing hand pumps and number of tube wells constructed and got functional to augment the need of drinking water, Minister added.
He impressed upon the party workers to apprise the people about the policy and programmes of the Congress party and also appealed to the people to use their vote keeping in view the development of area and benefit of common masses.
