JAMMU, June 25: Vice-president, J&K Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) and Member AICC, Abdul Gani Vakil today said that Congress has a bitter experience of forging pre poll alliance with any party as it has proved counterproductive and disastrous for the party.
He said that Congress cannot afford to commit another mistake of this nature in view of the fact that its existence is at stake in the State particularly in valley, adding everyone must accept and endorse the mood of electorates who want development and prosperity of the State and if Congress can plead and put its manifesto before them, no force can stop Congress to achieve and regain its glory.
While addressing public meetings at Braman, Reban, and Shogpora Tragpora in Rafiabad, Vakil said that Congress High Command must respect the aspirations of grass root Congress workers who worked day and night to keep the party’s name alive in the State especially during the turmoil.
It was due to sincere efforts of Mr Azad who inculcated the work culture of double and triple shifts so that people of the State could experience a massive change, infrastructural development in short period of time, Vakil said and reiterated that Azad’s contributions both in the capacity of Chief Minister of J&K and Union Minister are exceptional and remarkable.
Vakil said Ghulam Nabi Azad’s 2½ year tenure as Chief Minister of J&K State can be laminated as an unforgettable developmental era. “His historical decisions like creation of eight districts, implementation of Roshni Scheme, construction of Yatri Niwas, Haj House, and Legislature Complex display the visionary ability of this great leader.
