The coalition Government headed by the young and energetic Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah has taken several revolutionary decisions during the past five years, prominent among these, creating large number of administrative units, empowering Panchayats and improving the public service. He called for further strengthening the coalition in the State so that the Government can deliver more affectively, he maintained.
Slathia while criticizing the BJP and PDP said that both these parties play the politics of vote bank and exploit the sentiments of innocent people. He described the PDP as an opportunistic party and said that party has deceived the people and given only hollow slogans.
Among those who addressed the gathering included Om Parkash Attri, Choudhary Tirath Ram, Ram Paul, Rangeel Singh, Ajay Sharma, Riaz Malik and Sarpanch and Panchs hailing from the Vijaypur constituency.
Later, the Minister also addressed election meetings at village Ghaink Jagir, Dhok Jagir, Pangyari, Raja Chack, Bandral Khurad, Sungal-Sumah.
