Jammu, Jan 10- The BJP Legislators led by their leader, Prof. Chaman Lal Gupta, today called upon the Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah, and conveyed their views about the basic issues including that of discrimination against Jammu and the problems facing the people. Describing it as a courtesy call, the BJP leader said that his party would play the role of constructive opposition and raise the issues of their agenda within and outside the legislature. Amongst these issues the Delimitation of Assembly as also those of Lok Sabha constituencies would be the major one, he added.
