President Block Congress Committee Chander Bakshi besides Sarpanch Kishori Dutt Sudan, general secretary DCC, Naib Sarpanch Suraj Parkash and several others put forth the hardships faced by the people on various fronts and the failure of the BJP on various fronts including rising unemployment, price hike , issue of regularisation of daily wagers and unfair land norms.
Former MLC regretted that people are suffering due to lack of drinking water.The development works initiated by previous Government including water supply schemes, health facilities have been neglected or pace of work is very slow but BJP leaders claim massive development in the country especially, in J&K.
