JAMMU, Oct 1: Former Deputy Chief Minister, Kavinder Gupta today asserted that the sort of development J&K has witnessed in these five years was not witnessed before.
Kavinder Gupta was addressing a gathering while starting blacktopping of road at Ward 55 Jeevan Nagar Green Avenue Extension. The work would be completed with an estimated cost of Rs 65 lakh.
He said that the successive Governments of NC and Congress have failed to initiate any step for the development of J&K and the people were deprived of basic amenities like drinking water, regular power supply and good road network. He asserted that the Jammu and Kashmir Union Territory (JKUT) under the leadership of Prime Minister, Narendra Modi is now fast marching on the path of development and the Government’s policy of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikaas, Sabka Vishwas’ is being implemented on ground there.
Kavinder said that on one side there are parties which have been exposed badly for continuously deceiving the common masses for years together and on the other it is BJP which has a cadre from top to bottom working day and night only to satiate the aspirations of people and addressing their issues which were earlier disregarded and misused for petty political gains by dynastic rulers. He solicited the cooperation of the people in realizing the dream of making the J&K economically vibrant and prosperous.
The former Deputy Chief Minister appealed to the people to get united and support Prime Minister, Narendra Modi and UT Government’s proactive measures to contain the spread of Coronavirus contagion and strictly follow guidelines issued on various occasions, as without cooperation of citizens it would be hard to achieve desired results of making India free from COVID-19. He asked people to stay away from rumours regarding Coronavirus and emphasized on the need to follow the advice of doctors in this regard.
Prominent among those who were present include Vikram Randhawa, Ex-MLC, Corporator Tirath Kour, Paramjit Singh Ex-Corporator, Bharat Bhushan, Mandal president and Jyoti Sharma, Corporator Cantonment Board.
