| NC makes inroads in BJP bastion: Rana | | | ET Plus Report
Jammu, Mar 11 (KNS): Piercing into the traditional stronghold of Bhartaya Janata Party (BJP) in Kanak Mandi area of old Jammu city, National Conference on Monday made its presence felt when the local traders association organized a grand reception to honour the party's newly appointed Provincial President Devender Singh Rana.
The reception coincided with the Shivratri Mela organized by the association as its annual feature.
The felicitation of the National Conference is considered to be a watershed as the area has hitherto remaind almost out of bound for national, regional and other mainstream parties.
The President of the traders association along with the functionaries and prominent members besides businessmen had joined National Conference recently at a specially held function.
This is consi ered a major setback for the BJP which is struggling to put its act together following division, dissention and emergence of various groups within the party especially after seven MLAs were disqualified by the party high command for breach of party discipline and violation of whip during 2011 Council elections.
A senior functionary of the association told KNS that there has been growing disenchantment with the BJP which has only precipitated the issues by raking up communal and regional issues ignoring the economic concerns of the people.
"People are craving for progress, development, infrastructure build up in the Jammu city, a premier pilgrim centre of the country", he said adding this can be achieved only by the leadership having pragmatic approach towards economic and developmental issues. |
