Jammu, Sept 25: Appealing the people to vote and support Panthers Party in ULB elections, Harsh Dev Singh JKNPP Chairman and Former Minister today said that it was high time that Dogras identified and acknowledged the services of those who were actually championing the cause of Jammu. He said that neither the national parties nor the Kashmir based parties were the solution for the ills afflicting Jammu region. A regional party alone could meet the aspirations of Jammu and address the local issues of the public, he claimed adding that people were increasingly reposing their faith in Panthers Party and its leadership. He was addressing public meetings at various locations after party candidates filed nominations in various wards of JMC today. Accusing the BJP of having betrayed the collection sentiment of Dogras, Singh said that NPP was all prepared to provide a viable alter-native to the people of Jammu region. Those who failed to honour their promise of holiday on 23rd September, birthday of Maharaja Hari Singh or even rake up the issue in cabinet meeting while in power, could no longer be trusted by the people, said Singh. They had lost the right to represent the Dogras when they failed to get Rasana case probed through CBI and rather joined the chorus with their Kashmir masters describing the agitating Dogras as 'rapists supporters'.
Not only that they succumbed before the separatists and Kashmir centric forces by refusing Dogra Certificate to Jammu Dogras despite the issue forming a part of their election manifesto, said Harsh. While the lion's share in employment went the Kashmir way during their rule, the BJP leaders were often seen flaunting a consolation prize in the form of negligible share in services for Jammu youth, rued Singh. |
