By appointing veteran leader Yash Pal Sharma as general secretary of the state incharge Jammu province, PDP leadership has given hints to take Jammu region seriously.

Credible sources in PDP said that party leadership has decided to give much importance to Jammu province because this region is going to play decisive role in the coming Assembly elections. The PDP leadership was not happy with the style of working of the present leadership in Jammu so it was ultimately decided to handover command to experienced hand Yash Pal Sharma. "Party leadership has authorised Yash Pal Sharma to constitute new committees by involving young, youthful leadership and honest leadership", sources said and added that massive reshuffle in Jammu PDP on cards after appointment of Mr Sharma as general secretary. Credible sources said that PDP leadership has already identified a dozen winnable seats in Jammu province which included some five six seats of Poonch and Rajouri and some seats from erstwhile Doda district. Post of general secretary for Jammu province was lying vacant for the last six months after the then general secretary Thakur Balbir Singh had jumped over into "sinking ship" Congress.
In the just completed Parliamentary elections National Conference was completely routed in Kashmir Valley after PDP has won all the three seats of Valley. |
