BJP's Smart city project is failed in Jammu: Sadhotra

Early Times Report
JAMMU, Mar 28: The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (NC) Ajay Kumar Sadhotra former minister and Additional General Secretary and Provincial President for Jammu, Rattan Lal Gupta, on Saturday asserted that the party's anticipated success in the upcoming Urban Local Bodies (ULB) and Panchayat elections across the Jammu region will significantly strengthen the Omar Abdullah-led government's development outreach and help reverse the decade-long developmental setbacks witnessed during the previous BJP regime.
Addressing a workers' meeting of Jammu East Assembly Segment at Sher-e- Kashmir Bhavan, Jammu, chaired by Chandar Mohan Sharma District President Jammu Urban, Sadhotra emphasized the urgent need to prioritize urban development and grassroots governance in the region.
"People of Jammu have realized the hollow promises made over the past decade. The forthcoming ULB and Panchayat elections will provide them an opportunity to reinforce a government that is committed to inclusive growth and equitable development," Sadhotra said.
He further criticized the BJP's much-publicized Smart City initiative in Jammu, alleging that it failed to deliver tangible results on the ground. "The so-called Smart City project in Jammu remains a glaring example of mismanagement and unfulfilled commitments. Basic urban infrastructure continues to suffer, exposing the gap between claims and reality," he added.
Provincial President Jammu JKNC, Rattan Lal Gupta while addressing the gathering, echoed similar sentiments and called for renewed public participation in strengthening democratic institutions at the grassroots level.
"Urban development cannot be achieved through slogans and announcements alone. It requires a sincere approach, transparent governance, and active involvement of the people. The failure of the BJP's policies, particularly in urban sectors, has only widened the trust deficit among citizens," Gupta said.
The meeting witnessed enthusiastic participation from party workers, who reiterated their commitment to mobilizing public support ahead of the upcoming elections. Gupta emphasized the cadre of the party to gear up workers in their respective areas to strengthen the party and Omar led Government.
