JAMMU, Nov 29: Asking party workers to expose the divisive designs of BJP which has hidden agenda of dividing the masses in the name of religion, regionalism and communal lines, Minister for PHE and senior Congress leader Sham Lal Sharma said that BJP is a party of opportunists and only incites the sentiments of innocent people which ultimately create unrest in the society.
Continuing his election campaign in Akhnoor, Mr Sharma seeking public mandate on his 12 years performances said, “You assigned me three duties, first the bridge on river Chenab, Degree College, up-gradation of City Girls High School. With the missionary zeal, I not only fulfilled three duties but gone ahead to make Akhnoor as Model constituency while get constructed four bridges on river Chenab, 9 tubwells wells with back up system to provide adequate drinking water for next 30 years without any shortage.
Old electric wires and poles got replaced to ensure power supply in town, Nirdosh Chowk previously called Fowara Chowk widened without dislocating small Khokhawalas, hospital was upgraded, new face lift to Jio Potta, Chandian, Nomandhar, river Chenab Ghats was given. Walkers’ paths, sheds for visitors, tourists and one tourist reception centre too, got constructed; all these to make Akhnoor town worth tourists attraction as well as local people’s comforts. Mr Sharma stated that with coming up of Mini Secretariat, all the Govt offices will be shifted at one place for the convenience of locals.
He appealed women, youth and intellects to adjudge his performances with the last 60 years, to justify his claim over their votes, which he hopes shall cast by pushing EVMs’ button on December 20. Sham Lal urged upon women voters and youths in particular that development and progress is the main election agenda of his performances and should be compared with his predecessors whom they had rejected.
