Speaking on the occasion, Wani said that people are now joining `Hath Se Hath Jodo’ campaign in large numbers after Bharat Jodo Yatra.

He said that the main aim of the Congress is to strengthen mutual brotherhood in the society and it will continue to achieve it.
Lambasting the Government, Wani said that without an elected Government J&K and its people are being neglected and overlooked.

He also accused the BJP of failing to read the pulse of J&K people and said it cannot shun and run away from owning the responsibility of creating this mess and back-stabbing the people of Jammu and Kashmir. “The directionless, agenda-less and clueless policy of the BJP Government has left the people of Jammu and Kashmir in complete despair and this is a grave national concern. BJP govt lacks economic roadmap for inclusion and progress for the people of J&K, said Bhalla.
