Sham Lal said that massive development has been registered in all vital sectors and infrastructural facilities in essential services adequately upgraded in the constituency. The people are best judges who can make a difference of change on ground between the successive representatives in the constituency, he said adding that it was his endeavor to eradicate poverty from the constituency and make it a better place to live for all communities with pride and dignity.
Maintaining that then UPA Government in the Centre supported the Jammu and Kashmir overwhelmingly during the past one decade, the Minister said that it provided free flow of funds to undertake holistic development in all sectors.  UPA leadership took personal interest in the development of the State to ensure prosperity and progress of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, he said and added that Congress party always worked for the upliftment of poor and weaker sections of the society.  He asked the people to become partner in the development process and ensure landslide victory of Congress party in the State Assembly elections.
