JAMMU, Oct 23: Leaders of the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (NC) held a series of public meetings at Jandiyal in Mathwar Block and Baran in Bhalwal Block in the Nagrota constituency, seeking support for the party’s candidate, Shamim Begum, in the upcoming Nagrota bye-elections.
Addressing the gatherings, NC’s additional general secretary Ajay Sadhotra urged party workers to give a tough fight to the “divisive forces” attempting to polarize people on the basis of caste, creed, religion, and region. He appealed to the electorate to support and vote the party’s candidate, Shamim Begum, lauding her previous tenure as DDC Dhansal as “impeccable and inclusive.”
“She is a respected leader who works for everyone, irrespective of caste, creed, region, or religion. Her work speaks for itself. I am confident that if she is given a chance, she will take Nagrota to new heights of development,” Sadhotra said.
NC’s Provincial president (Jammu) Rattan Lal Gupta highlighted the development works undertaken during the previous Omar Abdullah-led Government (2009-2014) in Nagrota Constituency gave Tehsils, Naib Tehsils, Blocks, bridges, colleges, higher secondary schools, key road projects, and healthcare facilities. In contrast, during the BJP’s eleven years in power, people received only rhetoric and empty promises. No tangible development took place,” Gupta said, adding that the visible infrastructure in Nagrota stands as testimony to the NC’s governance.
Shameem Begum expressed gratitude to the party leadership for their trust and assured that, if elected, she would work to translate Omar Abdullah’s vision and mission into reality on the ground.
She asserted that the National Conference restored Jammu’s pride by reinstating the Darbar Move, which had been discontinued by the BJP.
Among those who were present in the meeting included- Babu Rampal (Ex-MOS), Vijay Lochan Chairman SC Cell, Abdul Gani Teli Chairman OBC Cell, Rakesh Singh, Raghbir Singh Manhas District president Jammu Rural, Joginder Singh DDC Nagrota, senior leaders Vijay Laxmi Datta, Dilshad Malik Rehmat Ali, Balwant Singh and others.
