ANANTNAG, Nov 16: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate from Kokernag Assembly segment, Abdul Rahim Rather today asked the people to vote for his Party to end misrule and corruption in the State.
Addressing largely attended public meetings at Bidder and surrounding areas he said three years rule of PDP led by Mufti Mohammed Sayeed had infused a sense of security among the people in the State as after a long time it appeared that the democratic institutions got strengthened in J&K.
He said in last six years of NC-Congress rule the basic institutions of democracy like Panchayats and Municipal councils importance was undermined and for over last six years no elections were held to municipalities, municipal corporations and TACs. This shows that both NC and Congress do not believe in transformation of power to peoples doorsteps and strengthening the basic institutions of democracy.

The party is committed to overall development of the State and equitable distribution of funds to all three regions, creating employment avenues, boosting tourism, industry and trade, he added.
