RAMNAGAR, Nov 30: R S Pathania, BJP candidate, Ramnagar Assembly segment, while addressing largely-attended meetings at Bharnara and Town Hall Ramnagar and concluding election campaign in Ramnagar has appealed electorate of Ramnagar to reject JKNPP as voting JKNPP means PDP. JKNPP always seeks vote while exploiting sentiments of Jammu and after winning elections openly sides with PDP and other Kashmir-centric parties.
And the controversial stance of PDP regarding Dogra Certificates, ‘Amarnath Land and demands like self-rule, dual control, double currency etc cannot be overlooked too easily. Pathania further reminded that the people of Jammu have not voted the MLAs of Panthers Party just for ‘bartering’ their mandate with the anti-national outfits and take them and their political aspirations and interests for granted.
Also that JKNPP MLAs have repeatedly voted for PDP candidates in MLC and Rajya Sabha elections. It is highly unfortunate that the MLAs who are pretty vocal about corruption, accountability and maladministration within the Assembly have indulged in a worst sort of horse-trading by violating the party direction and voting for it while on the other hand, the supremo of their party, Prof Bhim Singh, had been repeatedly dubbing PDP as ‘anti-national’ and ‘anti-social’.
Among others who accompanied him in the tour included Sham Lal, Mandal Pradhan, Ramnagar Bishan Das, Mandal Pradhan Majalta, Sorav Gupta, Mandal Pradhan Basantgarh, Rajinder Sharma, Capt Gopal Singh, Gopal Dass, Mohan Lal advocate, Amit Sharma, Rakesh Kumar, Virinder Singh, and of local leaders.
