JAMMU, Sept 26: To activate and instill more energy in the functioning of NC workers of Ward No 8 & 9, a meeting was organized by Dr. Vikas Sharma, Zonal Secretary and Coordinator Jammu District (Urban) in which former Minister and president Central Zone, Babu Rampaul was the chief guest while as, District president Jammu (Urban), Chander Mohan Sharma was the guest of honour.
While addressing the meeting, Rampaul said that we will have to conduct a door to door campaign and tell the public about the achievements of our party vis a vis what the present Government has done for the public in the last 10 years.
“The present Government only put the burden on the people and did nothing,’ he said adding that we will have to work day and night to ensure victory of our candidates in the local body elections taking the ideology of National Conference at the grass root level to every house.
Rampaul further said that after August 5, 2019, the situation has grown from bad to worse to jeopardize the living of people by first imposing property tax, smart meters installation and now prepaid meters with inflated power bills coming in thousands but the administration is not ready to pay heed to the grievances of people.
He said that when NC Government will come to power, we will reverse all the anti-public steps taken by the present dispensation and work for the convenience of the people.
Former Minister further said that people are being cheated under Smart City narrative and the condition of Jammu city is bad. There are potholes all over the streets, drains are broken and when it rains, the entire city turns into flood hitting the normal life of commoners.
Speaking on the occasion, CM Sharma alleged that the political party in power has totally spoiled the earning pattern of locals of Jammu as all the Govt works including contracts of sand, bajri, wine shops, and parking spots have been allotted to the people from outside JK UT jeopardizing the living standard of general public Jammu and Kashmir and drastically dwindling their livelihood.
Others who spoke on the occasion include, Satpaul Shabotra, Sandesh Shan, Surjit Kumar, Narinder Kumar, Amar Bhagat, Munir Ahmed, Gurmeet Singh, Shakur Ahmed and others.
