JAMMU, Sept 28: Former Minister, and State spokesperson of BJP, Priya Sethi today said that elections of Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC) and other local bodies are aimed at strengthening the democracy at grass root level so that its fruits can reach to the common masses.
During her door to door campaign in favour of BJP candidates in Ward No.3, Ward No. 10 and Ward No. 11 in Jammu East, Priya went to meet people in these wards to seek votes for BJP.
She said that under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister, Narendra Modi Swachh Bharat Abhiyan is one of the biggest civic action program ever launched in the history of India.
She further added that it is the vision of Narendra Modi that entire country today is witnessing the three tier system of governance which was missing in many states especially in J & K. Now that these elections are being held the powers will be decentralized and common people will be given authority to decide their own future, she added.
She said these elections are going to be historic as a good number of people are participating in these polls.
Referring to the victory of BJP candidates unopposed in Kashmir Valley, Priya Sethi said this has happened because of the increasing faith of people of Kashmir in the leadership of Bhartiya Janata Party led by PM, Narendra Modi & BJP national president, Amit Shah.
Former Minister said that these elections have provided young boys and girls of Jammu and Kashmir a golden opportunity to participate in democracy and represent their wards in developmental processes. This platform can enable the elected counsellors to make the cities of Jammu and Kashmir to be replicated by other cities of the country.
Urging voters in Jammu and Kashmir to elect BJP candidates to ULB, Priya Sethi said huge funds have been blocked because of non existence of corporations and town area committees after these elections central funds will flow to the state enabling counsellors to develop their wards as per the wills and wishes of people.
Condemning PDP and NC for not participating in local body elections Priya said these political outfits have betrayed their own party leaders and voters. She said that PDP and NC workers who had been working in their respective wards since past so many years are today feeling dejected and many of them are even contesting the polls independently.
