KHOUR, Nov 8: Former Deputy Chief Minister and senior Congress leader, Tara Chand today said that fight of Congress Party was just against the wrong policies of BJP Government.
Addressing workers’ meeting at Chak Malal in Khour today, Tara Chand said that Congress with an open heart is going to field its best candidates for the upcoming DDC elections to fight the wrong and unconstitutional policies of the BJP which has left the people of Jammu and Kashmir as unhappy. He said BJP has vowed to finish the identity of Jammu and Kashmir through unconstitutional and undemocratic moves like abrogation of special status, introduction of new land laws and bifurcation of the erstwhile State into Union Territories.
Tara Chand asked the workers to reach out to the masses at large and identify their issues and try to resolve by taking the same with the concerned authorities. He also appealed to the people to participate in the upcoming polling in good number. He said the people are politically mature and they will definitely use their opportunity.
” The Congress will put forth the best of its candidates who are pro-people”, former DyCM said adding that it was his party which introduced three-tier Panchayati Raj in the country.
” Whether it is the rule of Governor, Lt Governor or officers, it can never be pro-people. Only an elected government can provide a pro-people Government because the representatives are accountable to the public,” Tara Chand said.
” If the situation is conducive for elections to Urban Local Bodies and DDCs, then why can’t assembly polls be held to give an elected Government to the people of J&K,” Ex-DyCM asked.
Prominent among those present in the workers’ meeting included- Suram Singh, Prem Singh, Jagatar Singh, Jagdish Raj, ML Sharma, Gautam Sharma, Balbir Singh, Prabhu Singh, Daljeet Singh, Romesh Verma and others.
