Excelsior Correspondent JAMMU, Sept 20: Former Minister and additional general secretary of the National Conference (NC), Ajay Sadhotra has urged voters to reject the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) fake promises and divisive politics. Addressing a public meeting at Old Janipur, organized by Dr Vikas Sharma (zonal secretary and coordinator Jammu district) and Rajinder Kumar Sadhotra, the NC candidate from the Jammu North Assembly seat, criticized the BJP for failing to deliver on key promises made over the past decade, including providing 2 crore jobs annually and relief from rising prices. Sadhotra cautioned the electorate against falling prey to BJP’s “divisive politics” that seeks votes based on religion, stating that the people of Jammu & Kashmir have endured a difficult period under BJP rule, marked by lack of job opportunities, inflated utility bills, and misuse of power.
“If the NC-Congress coalition comes to power, we assure good governance,” Sadhotra promised, adding that the coalition would provide 200 units of free electricity, free water supply, and enhance pensions to Rs 3000 per month for senior citizens, widows, and disabled individuals, and implement many more such welfare measures to bring succor to the poor and deprived sections of the society. Babu Rampaul, zonal president and former Minister, also addressed the gathering, urging Congress supporters to rally behind Sadhotra as the common NC-Congress candidate. He emphasized the need for voters to make wise decisions for the future of J&K.
Dr Rajinder Sharma (senior leader), Ankush Abrol (provincial joint secretary), Raghuvir Singh Manhas (Jammu district president Rural-A), Rakesh Sharma (Jammu district youth president Rural-A), Kasturi lal Sharma and Gurnam Singh (block president) were also present..
