He alleged successive governments have ignored the culture and tradition of Jammu region from beginning due to their Kashmir Centric approach.
"Celebration of Nagbani Mela started on a historic day when Karan Singh got birth in the royal family of his highness Late Maharaja Hari Singh and became a tradition with the passage of time. It was celebrated with great enthusiasm upto the princely rule in the State with massive participation of farmers, business holders, other stake holders but after the signing of instrument of accession by his highness Late Maharaja Hari Singh with the Union of India on October 26, 1947, the approach for the same changed as Kashmir based leaders didn't bother to strengthen the knots of Dogra culture," said Partap Singh. He that the Mela remained a source of income for many villages including Marh, Sangrampur, Gajansoo, Halka, Durgo Chack, Koh Manhasan, Patoli, Domana, Nagbani, Raipur, Barnai, Kot Bhalwal, Mishriwala, Garhi and other villages in two constituencies viz-a-viz Raipur Domana and Marh Constituency as thousands of villagers used to run their stalls of different items for earning their livelihood.
