JAMMU, Dec 11: Leaders of the newly formed Apni Party claimed that BJP and Congress leaders from Udhampur today joined their political outfit here.
Welcoming the new entrants into the party fold, Apni Party General Secretary, Vikram Malhotra claimed that Udhampur district faced neglect on developmental front.
“BJP J&K Unit imposes decisions on the people which are taken abruptly at BJP headquarters in New Delhi without consulting the local leaders,” he said adding that this attitude has suffocated the local BJP leaders and they are turning towards Apni Party.
Malhotra said that BJP represented district Udhampur but the developmental promises could not be materialized by its leaders.
“Congress High Command in New Delhi also operates its J&K unit the same way BJP does. The national opposition party in J&K is struggling to come out of infighting and groupism,” claimed the Apni Party leader.
On this occasion, Apni Party senior leader and Ex-MLA, Faqir Nath said their party stands for unity and integrity of the nation as well as of J&K which has been downgraded.
“Our fight is for the restoration of statehood to J&K, safeguarding jobs and land of locals,” he claimed. Gourav Kapoor, R.K Lalotra, DDC candidate from Udhampur Hans Raj Dogra and others also spoke on the occasion.
