JAMMU, Dec 6: The maiden District Development Council (DDC) polls in the Union Territory will change the course of development in rural J&K as these will ensure completion of three-tier Panchayati Raj and handing over power to people to be used in the best interest of one and all.

The senior BJP leader urged the people to vote and support BJP in the DDC polls with no apprehensions in their minds as the party has brought in marvelous changes in the polity of the country always keeping the interests of common man on top.
Meanwhile, the former Deputy Chief Minister paid tributes to Dr BR Ambedkar on his death anniversary which is also called Mahaparinirvan Diwas.
While paying tributes to Dr Ambedkar, Gupta said that “Dr Ambedkar gave a future-oriented and inclusive Constitution to the country and paved the way for progress, prosperity and equality in the country. Following the footsteps of Babasaheb, Modi Government is working with dedication for the welfare of the section that remained deprived for decades.”
