Vibodh also took on parties like Congress, PDP and NC who have always used these people as their vote bank.

In his address Mohd Arif, Chairman of the Municipal Committee, Rajouri spoke about the Jal Jeevan Mission launched by PM Modi wherein every household of the country will be provided drinking water through pipes.
