JAMMU, Oct 3: With Panthers Party having put up a brave front against the opportunist leaders and all political parties which betrayed Jammu, NPP chairman and former Minister Harsh Dev Singh said that BJP and Congress can’t be allowed to go unchallenged.
Addressing public meetings in Ward No. 3, 4, 7, 21 and 28 along with candidates Kewal krishan Sharma, Krishma Thakur, Vaishno Devi, Surinder Chouhan and Swarn Kanta here today Harsh Dev said that repeated experimentation of the people with the traditional political parties had proved to be a failure with the Jammu Dogras desperately seeking an alternative which could steer Jammu out of the crisis and assure it its reasonable due. He said that vacuum created due to distrust of people in BJP and Congress was being appropriately filled up by the Panthers Party.
Accusing both Congress and BJP of marginalizing Jammu and pushing the Dogra land to terminal decline, Singh said that both the parties had pursued the policies of appeasement and pampering of Kashmir region at the cost of Jammu. While both got the lion’s share of Assembly, Parliament and Municipal seats from Jammu, they relegated their political constituency into the background, while in power, only to keep their Kashmir based masters in good humour, he said. With peoples’ confidence having been shaken and shattered in parties, the JKNPP was emerging as the most credible voice of Jammu region and Dogras.
Appealing the public in the said wards to support NPP candidates Singh said that people would find a visible change in Jammu’s landscape with development projects getting a new thrust in the event of its victory. He said that Panthers Party had fielded highly qualified, visionary and matured candidates in the Municipal polls having the capacity to take on the challenges confronting Jammu. “We want to carry everybody along irrespective of caste, creed, colour or religion. The preservation of cultural homogeneity of Dogra land and mutual brotherhood has always been the lynchpin of the party’s core agenda” Harsh Dev said.
