NOWSHERA, May 23: Senior vice president and chief spokesperson of J&K Congress Ravinder Sharma today led an impressive Congress-NC car rally in Beripattan tehsil of Nowshera constituency and appealed people to reject the opportunist politics of BJP and its hidden fair weather allies.
Leading an impressive rally in the area organised by Youth Congress of Nowshera- Sunderbani, in which senior Congress and NC leaders participated, Sharma charged BJP for failing to field it’s own candidates for fear of losing elections and instead clandestinely supporting the fair weather allies.
“If BJP has won the hearts of people in 10 years, why it ran away from contesting three seats,” he questioned and accused it of indulging in opportunist politics. The wrong delimitation of Assembly and Lok Sabha seats especially of Anantnag – Rajouri- Poonch on the behest of ruling BJP has caused great hardships to the residents of these areas, he added.
Urging people to expose and reject BJP and it’s allies and support Alliance candidate Mian Altaf Ahmed, the Congress leader asked the people to raise their voice against the wrongs of the BJP Government and bring about change.
“BJP workers and voters are confused a lot as it’s leaders are campaigning actively against Congress- NC without disclosing it’s hidden allies and friends and who have no standing in political history of J&K,” Sharma added.
He referred to the hardships of daily wagers, Anganwadi workers, helpers, Mid Day Meal workers and others and said that Congress manifesto has promised justice to all and revoke `Agniveer Scheme’ immediately.
The rally started from Kalideh and passed through Kuldabbi, Bajabain, Thichka, Siot, Saleri and Tanda, covering a distance of over 20 kms, where Sharma and other leaders addressed the people at several places.
NC leader Dheeraj Sharma, Shoukat Ahmed, besides Col Yash Pal Sharma (social worker) Congress leaders Yog Raj Sharma, Adv Bhavishya Sudan, Youth Congress Assembly Presidents Ravinder Chouhan and Govind Sudan, Block presidents.
