Jammu | June 8
In the forthcoming Assembly polls in Jammu and Kashmir the state unit of the BJP will rely heavily on the women vote bank to support their candidates and ensure their victory in the elections.
State BJP Chief Ashok Khajuria ,who is leading this campaign in support of the party candidates, addressed another meeting of the party workers in RS Pura on Sunday and urged women electorate to support BJP candidates in the 2008 Assembly polls. In his address Khajuria said BJP is banking heavily on women vote bank to improve their poll performance in the coming polls.
‘Saying that in any assembly constituency women electorate constitute at least 50 per cent of the voter population’ Khajuria maintained that women have decisive role to play in ensuring defeat of any candidate and must come forward and support BJP candidates.
Khajuria said, “Women, unlike men, can consolidate their energies on an issue of increasing price-rise of essential commodities/petroleum products and can bring such party into power which has always worked for the benefit of poor and common masses, he said, adding BJP is the only party towards which people look for mitigating their problems.
BJP chief urged the women-folk shun the habits of domestic back-biting and utilize their time and energies to seek that they defeat the government which has crippled the economic of their house-holds by raising the prices of petroleum products and other essential commodities.
The BJP chief trained his guns on the Congress led UPA Government at the Centre and the state government and held them responsible for the sky rocketing prices of essential commodities and assured that if BJP is voted to power, the price line would come to the same level which existed in May 2004 when NDA lost power. In similar way, the people of this border state, especially women, will get relief from the problems caused by sky-rocketing price-rise if BJP candidates get majority of seats from Jammu province, he added.
Khajuria also criticized the Azad-led coalition government and said that it was more militant-friendly with its major coalition partner-PDP overtly and covertly, helping militant activities in the state. Khajuria cautioned the people of border areas against the machinations of the ruling clique and said that they will come in different guises to mislead them for vote bank politics.
On the occasion, a former Professor Garu Ram Bhagat along with 300 workers joined BJP.
Earlier, Member of National Executive Dr. Nirmal Singh, State Vice-President Chander Parkash Ganga, State General Secretary (Org.) Ajay Jamwal, Distt. President Ch. Sham Lal and Block President Vishwamitter Gupta also addressed the public meeting. |
