JAMMU, Sept 5: Announcing to field candidates in all 75 wards of Jammu Municipal Corporation in the upcoming Urban Local Bodies polls, NPP chairman and former minister Harsh Dev Singh today appealed various sections of society particularly the youth, students, the intelligentsia, traders, employees to vote and support NPP in the coming elections to uphold Dogra pride and honour.
Talking to media-persons here today, Singh said that having experimented with BJP, Congress, NC and PDP and given them ample opportunities to prove their concern for Jammu, the people of Dogra land were an extremely demoralized lot today. The role of BJP in particular had disappointed the people of Jammu to the extent that their faith in the political system had been largely shattered, he maintained adding further that people were now eagerly looking forward towards Panthers Party which provided the only ray of hope for the people here.
Singh said that it was for the first time that Panthers Party had decided to contest all the seats of corporations in JMC Jammu in view of the peoples’ requests pouring in on day to day basis from various wards and tremendous response being shown by the urban electorates who were coming forward as volunteers in huge numbers to support the party. He said that NPP had announced calendar of public meetings to be held in various wards with alternate teams going for door to door campaign to highlight the struggle of the party for the cause of Jammu. It has been a kind of 24×7 struggle during the last four years with NPP vociferously agitating and relentlessly fighting for the issues of Dogras in Jammu, Kashmir as well as in New Delhi, said Harsh while appealing the members of social organizations and civil society of Jammu to support NPP irrespective of their erstwhile political affiliations.
Manju Singh, Gagan Pratap, KK Sharma, Partap Singh, Krishma Rajput and Pawan Dev also accompanied.
