VIJAYPUR , Aug 10: Expressing hope, former Minister and newly appointed District President, Samba, Manjit Singh Friday claimed that Congress party will form next government in J&K. The former Minister made this statement while addressing enthusiastic party workers who were overwhelmed with his appointment as district Samba president. Manjit Singh thanked the party high command and appealed the workers to prepare for Panchayat elections/Municipal Committee, and all workers and Congress leaders in Samba to strengthen the party in the district. Coming down heavily on BJP, he said, the rightwing party befooled the people with their false promises and they completely failed to fulfill the promises made with the people of the state. The first time rule under BJP proved to be worse of its kind where the common masses were suffering and ruling class enjoyed royal lifestyle. "They never care for Jammu from where they got their votes. The people who voted them to power faced frequent power cuts, lack of drinking water supply, price rise of essential commodities, militant went up like in 90s, failed to deal with Pakistan on borders, border violated increased due to which many soldiers got martyred in absence of strong foreign policy," he alleged. He hoped that the Congress is first chose of people of J&K and there is a strong need to work on ground to strengthen the party so that next Government will be formed by the Congress party in Jammu and Kashmir. Earlier, a large number of Congress leaders and workers welcomed the decision of All India Congress Committee (AICC) for appointment of former minister Manjit Singh as district president of Samba district. |
