 early times report
BANI, Feb 2: Addressing a meeting of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers here today, Party's National Executive Member & J&K Chief Spokesperson Dr Jitendra Singh said, the entire belt of Bani-Basohli has been constantly neglected by the National (NC)-Congress government and the only way to redeem this situation is to immediately address the long pending demands of the area which include better maintenance of roads, up gradation of education facility with offsite Campuse of Jammu university and round the clock power supply.
In addition, the rich art and cultural heritage of the area also deserves special attention, he added.
Dr Jitendra Singh said, it is strange that even as rail tracks are being laid down in the rest of the State, why Basohli cannot be connected by rail link despite its close proximity to Pathankote-Jammu rail line.
Hailing the local MLA, Lal Chand as a popular,firebrand leader,Dr Jitendra Singh said, his re-induction into BJP will add impetus to the party activities in the area and also bring the BJP closer to the people of Bani. The meeting,which was held to review the management of polling booths and composition of booth committees in the context of forthcoming Lok Sabha electon, was also attended by party's District President Mankotia, Organizing Secretary Inderjit, Mandal President Thakur Das, Pawan Chouhan,Uttam Goswamy, Des Raj and several others.
Dr Jitendra Singh said, BJP is the only democratic option for self-respecting, patriotic people, particularly in a State like Jammu & Kashmir, because here the other major national party, namely the Congress, has in its bid for power, yielded space to militant-friendly regional parties. This makes the responsibility of a BJP "Karyakarta" all the more crucial because the entire nation looks up to him for holding aloft the tricolor of Indian sovereignty in J&K, he added.
Dr Jitendra Singh claimed, BJP is not controlled by any dynasty and it could choose a tea seller with a humble background as its Prime Ministerial candidate because, unlike several other parties, it is not a mother-son or father-son party. The party will go to people with Modi's slogan of "Vote for India",he said and reiterated the appeal for "Ek Note,Kamal Par Vote".
In order to get the real benefit of the forthcoming Modi government at the Center, Dr Jitendra Singh said, people in the state will have to ensure that they vote for BJP candidates in Parliament and State Assembly elections so that they get adequate representation in the Center and at the same time also have their say in the formation of next government in the state.
MLA, Lal Chand, while welcoming Dr Jitendra Singh, assured maximum support to BJP from the area during the Parliament and Assembly elections. He said, he will continue to fight for just demands of the people of Bani.
Mankotia presented a detailed resume of Booth composition and Incharges of polling booths as well as Shakti Kendras.
