UDHAMPUR, Feb 7: Apni Party has said that the National Conference (NC) has become desperate after defeat in chairpersons, vice chairpersons elections for District Development Council (DDC) in Srinagar and Shopian.
“Those questioning the Apni Party were once in alliance with BJP and they have added more problems in J&K’s politics then resolving issues of the people,” said former Minister and senior leader of Apni Party, Mohammed Dilawar Mir.
Mir was speaking at one-day workers’ convention at Udhampur. Over 200 people attended the convention which was organized by former MLA of Chenani, Faqir Nath.
Welcoming several like minded people into the party, Mir said that “NC leaders are not able to accept victory of the Apni Party in DDC elections. They have become desperate on seeing political power slipping out of their hands. They are not able to digest that people are joining the Apni Party with their own free will.”
Ex-MLC and general secretary, Apni Party, Vijay Bakaya said that Udhampur has the potential of tourism but the leadership and the administration seems to have no vision to plan developmental activities and promote tourism.
General secretary Vikram Malhotra said, “The authorities have failed to utilize the tourism potential of Udhampur district which have many historic, religious and picturesque places for religious and tourist attractions.
Former Minister and provincial president, Jammu, Manjit Singh said that Mansar, Dalsar, Gadseri Talab, Mantalai, Chontra Mata Temple, Pancheri, Latti, Basantgarh, Khadi-Janni, Ramnagar Fort, Gouri Kund, Sudh Mahadev and similar other places should be promoted and given publicity outside J&K.
Provincial president, women wing, Namrta Sharma said, “It is not possible for everyone to get Government job, and if the tourism sector is promoted in Udhampur, it will automatically create jobs.”
OBC State Coordinator Madan Lal Chalotra, SC State Coordinator Bodh Raj Bhagat, Jammu Central Coordinator, Pranav Shagotra, and Media Coordinator, Raqeeq Ahmed Khan also spoke on the occasion and highlighted various developmental issues in Udhampur district.
Speaking on the occasion, Former MLA from Chenani, Faqir Nath said that the villages have no roads, and the people have to cover long distances on foot.
