  • BJP losing ground in Jammu region due to its anti-people policies: Rattan Lal Gupta

JAMMU: Jammu and Kashmir National Conference Additional General Secretary Jammu and former minister Ajay Kumar Sadhotra said that the Omar Abdullah-led Government is committed to equitable development of all regions and sections of Jammu and Kashmir and will continue to raise the voice of the people. 

He appealed to the newly joined members and party workers to strengthen the organisational base of the National Conference at the grassroots level and work unitedly for the welfare, peace, prosperity and restoration of the democratic rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

Addressing a colourful function organised at Sher-i-Kashmir Bhawan, Jammu, to welcome Sh. Diljeet Singh of Atli More, Kathua alongwith Ajay Sharma and Darshan Sharma  who joined the National Conference, Rattan Lal Gupta Provincial President Jammu JKNC said that the growing participation of people in the party reflects their increasing faith in the policies and programmes of the NC and the BJP is steadily losing ground in the Jammu region due to its anti-people policies, failure to address the genuine concerns of the people and its continued delay in restoring the Statehood of Jammu and Kashmir.

Gupta welcomed Diljeet Singh into the National Conference fold and said that his joining, along with the support of people from different sections of society, is a clear indication of the changing political scenario in Jammu region.

He said that the people of Jammu and Kashmir have lost faith in the BJP-led Central Government because it has failed to fulfil its repeated commitment regarding the restoration of Statehood to Jammu and Kashmir. ā€œThe people have waited long enough. Statehood is a democratic and constitutional aspiration of the people of J&K, and there can be no further justification for delaying it,ā€ Gupta said.

The Provincial President said that the Centre should immediately take concrete steps to restore Statehood and strengthen the democratic and federal structure of the country. He also criticised the BJP for diverting public attention from core issues such as unemployment, rising prices, development, infrastructure and the economic difficulties being faced by ordinary people.

We at JK Monitor are profoundly saddened by the sudden demise of our Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan.IN LOVING MEMORY Dr Priya Ranjan

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.

For more than 15 years at JK Monitor, he remained a loyal friend, mentor and collaborator, marked by rare humility, intellectual integrity and quiet generosity.
