Jammu, Nov 29: Senior Congress leader, Minister for Housing, Culture and Horticulture and Congress candidate from Gandhi Nagar Constituency Raman Bhalla hoped that the common masses will rise above the divisive politics of religion, regionalism and casteism and vote for development of the State.
He asked the people to give befitting reply to all divisive forces and vote in favour of Congress party candidates, so as to form next Government in J&K led by Congress.
