NAGROTA, Apr 3: Former Minister and Congress candidate from Jammu-Poonch Parliamentary seat Raman Bhalla today said that youth can bring J&K out of the morass by rendering their contribution.
This was observed by Bhalla while addressing series of election meetings at Danshal, Badsoo, Kanayala, Korga, Kisanpur, Chalarah areas of Nagrota constituency. He also apprised the first time voters about the power of their vote and emphasized them to gear up for a big change, as that, their vote can bring a better change in the society, which is the need of the time.
Bhalla appealed the young brigade to come forward for a better change in the State, as the J&K has suffered enormously on every count due to the political exploitation under BJP rule. He said Congress is duty bound to empower every section of the State equally especially the youth, who hold the key to development and can change the direction, for which they need to rise to the occasion to show the power of their vote in the upcoming elections.
“I would urge the youth not only of this Assembly segment but the youth in all the three regions to remain steadfast to serve the people to the best of their ability and ensure defeat of political exploitation. They should strengthen the Congress Party, which under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi feels duty bound to empower the youth and other sections of the people from grass roots level,” Bhalla added.
“J&K has become a victim of the harmful policies of BJP. The people are looking forward to a Congress Government under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi. Our poll planks for the elections will be development, employment and to bring back peace, which was derailed after the BJP took rein,” he said and claimed that Congress brought peace to Punjab, Mizoram and Assam through dialogue and will adopt same strategy in Jammu and Kashmir.
Highlighting alleged discrimination with Jammu during BJP rule, Bhalla regretted that contrary to people’s expectations, the saffron party leaders surrendered even the marginal share of Jammu region in recruitments so as to keep their alliance partner in good humour for the lust of power.
Prominent among those, who accompanied Bhalla, included ex-MLA Th Shiv Dev Singh, Madam Mohan Dubey, Balwan Singh, Soma Devi, Angrej Singh, Narayan Dutt Sharma, Mohan Lal Sharma, Bashir Ahmed, Dr Parmanand Sharma, Block presidents, Ward presidents, Sarpanches, Panches, workers and supporters in large number.
