Congress replaced hopelessness with all-round development: Bhalla

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Nov 7: Minister for Housing, Culture and Horticulture and Congress party candidate from Gandhi Nagar constituency for the forthcoming Assembly elections, Raman Bhalla today said that Congress Government had replaced the “hopelessness” in the State with all-round development and promised to do so again, if voted to power.
Minister added that the Congress replaced hopelessness from the State with a new paradigm of governance based on the assumption of early fulfillment of public demands and fast-track execution of developmental works.
Bhalla said this while addressing public meetings in Gandhi Nagar constituency today.
The Congress-led coalition Government successfully broke the myth that development is a utopian dream, Minister said, adding that we will once again revive the same paradigm of all-round and equitable development, if people repose trust in us.
“Congress made development as a narrative and discourse in the State, and dispersed the fruits of development beyond the confines,” he said, adding that Congress had vision of a vibrant, progressive and united Jammu and Kashmir.
“We amply demonstrated to the people of the State how big projects can be executed in the shortest possible time. It is this mantra of development and good governance, which we are presenting to the people of the State for seeking fresh and decisive mandate, Mr Bhalla added.
He stated that Congress Government ensured that all regions and sections of the society were treated with equity, fairness and justice.
“Only Congress can ensure continuity in the ongoing developmental activities in the State”, he said and sought support of the people.
He added that the creation of new administrative units brought enormous comfort and respite to the people who earlier had to travel long distances for reaching out to authorities for getting their petty works done.
