Early Times Report
Jammu, Apr 11: Dr. Manohar Lal Sharma , Senior Congress Leader and Ex Minister of State, while continuing his streak of extensive touring and conducting public meetings in Billawar constituency addressed a large gathering here in Rajwalta-Kalyar, Tehsil Ramkote, Billawar. The local population apprised Dr. Sharma of the various hardships they are going through under present regime. The local population expressed their helplessness towards the rising inflation, high level of corruption, non availability of wages to daily wagers, carelessness and non responsive attitude to their problems in the Govt. Offices and the sufferings they are going through as a result of massive hikes in renewal fees of gun license, driving licenses and other taxes imposed in the banking sector. It is pertinent to mention here that the BJP-PDP Govt. has hiked the renewal fees of gun license/driving license which used to be many hundred times leading to hard times for the poor. The local population, farmers in majority, linked with land for their bread raised their plight owing to anti farmer policies of the Govt. The attending crowd also expressed their strong resentment against the local MP who hasn't showed his presence since elections and now made his maiden visit after 4 years. |
