DODA/KISHTWAR, Apr 10: Exhorting the people to elect credible and tested representatives for the Lok Sabha, Union Health and Family Welfare Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad today reminded that BJP leadership in Jammu and Kashmir has always bartered peoples’ interests to accomplish their own personal agenda.
While addressing series of public gatherings at various hilly belts in Doda and Kishtwar districts, Congress heavyweight Ghulam Nabi Azad who is contesting Doda-Udhampur Parliamentary constituency, today stated that except exploiting sentiments of the people to reap political benefits BJP leaders have never fulfilled aspirations of the common masses.
Accompanied by Minister for Roads and Buildings, Abdul Majid Wani, former Minister and Congress MLA G M Saroori, MLC Sham Lal Bhagat, Ghulam Nabi Azad made a dig at BJP leadership and sought to know their contribution for the country.
“It is Congress party under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh and Congress president Sonia Gandhi that had ensured equitable development of the people irrespective of their caste, religion or region,” he said and asked BJP to list its role since Independence and till date.
“Can BJP leadership explain what role their party has played for the development of nation and upliftment of poor masses? Who has made massive and record development in each and every field? Is it BJP? No, it is only and only Congress and its secular allies which have made India a strong nation”, he added.
Seeking mandate of the people to accelerate developmental activities in remotest and far-flung areas, the Union Minister said that Congress was committed for the betterment and upliftment of the backward and under-developed areas.
He reminded people about various developmental projects which were started during his tenure as Chief Minister for the development of this region. “Many projects are still incomplete”, he said and sought support of the people to finish that incomplete projects to improve their socio-economic conditions.
