R S PURA, Mar 18: Minister for PHE, Irrigation & Flood Control, Sham Lal Sharma has stressed upon the workers of Congress and National Conference to spread the programmes and policies of the Central and State Governments at the grass root level to motivate the masses to further strengthen the United Progress Alliance (UPA).
Addressing election rallies at R S Pura and Suchetgarh, which were jointly organized by the Congress and National Conference, the Minister said that works done by the UPA Government in its two terms in the Centre and Congress-NC Coalition Government in the State need to be highlighted by the workers to stake claim for securing votes for the aspiring joint candidate for Jammu-Poonch Parliamentary Constituency, Madan Lal Sharma in the Lok Sabha elections.
Seeking mandate in favour of Madan Lal Sharma for the third term, the Minister asked the people to elect the sitting MP, who is local and time tested, adding that his victory will further promote prosperity in the region as he has done relentless efforts to address the aspirations of the people.
Taking a strong dig at the BJP, the Minister said that the party has rich history of spreading communal tension in the country in the name of Hindutva and many precious lives have been lost in the party sponsored communal riots in the country. “The party has double standard, when it is in power it speaks something else and when it is in the opposition it starts raking the issues of Ram Temple, revoking Article 370 and other irrelevant issues to mislead the innocent masses,” he alleged and asked the people to expose such forces and give befitting reply to them in the election.
Several senior Congress and NC leaders, including MLC Ghulam Nabi Monga, MLC, B R Kundal, former Ministers, R S Chib, Suman Bhagat, Darshan Raina, Pawan Raina, S Taranjeet Singh Toni, Master Ganesh Dutt, Romesh Motten, Dr Karan Bhagat, Khushwant Singh, Mohan Choudhary, Hans Raj Bhagat, Amar Singh Charak, Ramesh Lal, Harbans Lal, Jatinder Singh, Bachan Singh, Tilak Raj, Badri Nath, S Soba Singh and S Balvinder Singh also addressed the gatherings and appealed to vote and support coalition candidate, Madan Lal Sharma.
