JAMMU, Apr 10: BJP Lok Sabha candidate for Kathua-Udhampur Constituency, party’s National Executive Member & J&K chief spokesperson, Dr Jitendra Singh demanded district status for Billawar-Basohli-Bani and said, even as the BJP has, in its organisational working, already granted district status to Basohli-Billawar-Bani, it is strange that the State Government does not consider it important to grant district status to it for better functioning of the administration in this region.
Addressing a series of road-shows at Galak, Ramkot, Gujroo Nagrota, Lakhari , Tharakalwal, Gurakalyal, Lutera, Mandli, Kohag, Bhaddu, Billawar, Sukral, and other places, Dr Jitendra Singh also referred to poor road connectivity and demanded rail link for Billawar-Basohli. He said, when BJP wins from here, the party will raise in the Lok Sabha the issue of constant neglect of this region during 10 years of Congress rule.
Dr Jitendra Singh appealed for a vote for BJP to liberate the country from the menace of mis-governance, corruption and dynastic rule. Reiterating Narendra Modi’s slogan of “Vote for India”, he said that a vote for BJP is indeed a vote for India because there is no other political option for common man to get benefits of equal opportunity and justice as envisaged in a democracy.
Expressing gratitude to the party for having given him the mandate, Dr Jitendra Singh said now this is the collective responsibility of all of us to win this seat for BJP and add to Narendra Modi’s tally in Lok Sabha.
State Incharge of BJPs Morcha, Satish Sharma, who appealed for a vote in favour of Dr Jitendra Singh, whom he described as a candidate with clean image and international recognition as a medical profesional, author and selfless public activist.
