JAMMU, Oct 6: Apni Party provincial president Jammu Manjit Singh said that rivalry between two political parties in Nagrota Assembly constituency is responsible for selective development in which a marginalized section of society has been neglected.
Speaking at a public meeting which was organized by vice president, Jammu province, Women Wing, Rupali Rani, the former Minister said that the development is still a distant dream for the people belonging to the neglected section of society in Nagrota as no one listens to them.
“The basic amenities are not being provided to the people and it is happening because of rivalry between two political parties. These political parties claim to be champions of Jammu, but they are not concerned with the people. The politicization of developmental works has made people suffer the most,” he said.
He said that the interference in developmental works is behind the basic discrimination with the people. “People are being discriminated against if they belong to one party and another party opposes the works in their areas. However, Apni Party believes in development of every area without discrimination even if it belongs to rival political party. The people should not be deprived of development, but they should equally be treated and provided developmental opportunities,” said Manjit Singh.
Speaking on the occasion, provincial president, Women Wing, Jammu, Namrta Sharma said that under-development in remote areas is causing hardships to the women in villages. “The development is the main issue being faced by the people, especially women in Nagrota constituency and the selective approach with regard to development is the main concern among the residents,” Namrta said.
State SC State Coordinator Bodh Raj Bhagat, provincial president, Schedule Tribe Wing, Jammu, Choudhary Shabir Kohli, J&K vice president, Youth Wing, Raqeeq Ahmed Khan, District President, Jammu Rural-A, Pushp Dev Kumar Uppal also highlighted the issues of Nagrota constituency.
