Jammu, Aug 1: Editor Early Times, Munish Gupta, on Thursday said that people need to put up a united front to keep non-performing leaders at bay.
Carrying forward his mass contact programme in different areas on 69th consecutive day today, Munish said, "Leaders who have represented us during the past seventy years took us for granted. They never made an attempt to check their performance."
"People of Jammu are paying a heavy price for the non-performance of the leaders, who just couldn't focus on the development. Most areas within the Jammu city crave for basic amenities like roads, drains, transformers and garbage dumping sites. It's unfortunate that our leaders have failed to do justice with the people whom they represented during all these years," said, Munish, who would be contesting the forthcoming Assembly elections as an independent candidate from Gandhi Nagar constituency.
He said, "If people want to get rid of the non-performers they will have to ensure that they put up a collective front and vote for a candidate who can represent them at every forum and address the issues which confront them."
Munish said, "For the past two months I have tried to reach out to the people in every mohalla. What I have understood is that people are fed up of the existing system and they are waiting for a change to come. But that change can't come till people decide to banish the old practice of voting for those, who raise emotional slogans and politicize every move."
He urged people to vote for him and give him a chance to change the system which he said, is in "ruins." "I have come to my people with lot of hope and am thankful to them for extending their wholehearted support. I hope that they will vote for me in the upcoming Assembly elections," he added. |
