UDHAMPUR, Feb 1: Senior NC leader and former Minister Ajay Sadhotra today asserted that the Omar Abdullah Government is committed to steer Jammu and Kashmir out of the misrule and mis-governance inflicted by the BJP-led Administration over the past decade.
Addressing a party convention in Udhampur today, Sadhotra emphasized that the people of J&K have given a massive mandate to the National Conference, reaffirming their trust in the party’s vision for peace, progress, and prosperity.
He said the BJP’s decade-long rule in J&K, directly and indirectly, has been marked by instability, economic downturn, unemployment, and a disregard for the aspirations of the people.
He said that the NC has always worked for the progress of the people of Jammu and Kashmir and will now work towards undoing the damage caused by the policies of the past ten years.
Sadhotra highlighted that Omar Abdullah, with his vast experience as a Chief Minister, Union Minister and Member of Parliament, is fully committed to fulfilling the aspirations of the people. He said that during Omar’s tenure as CM, several landmark initiatives were introduced. The J&K will once again witness progress and prosperity under Abdullah’s leadership.
He said NC has a rich track record of strengthening the public sector and implementing welfare-oriented policies. The party has always prioritized development, social justice, and equitable distribution of resources. He referred to expansion of hydroelectric power projects, ensuring electricity supply to remote areas, and modernizing power infrastructure.
Sadhotra asked the party workers to take programmes of the NC to every door step and play a vital role in filling the communal gap so that we can have a strong Jammu and Kashmir.
Provincial secretary Mohd Ayub Malik, Satwant Dogra provincial president Women Wing, C M Sharma, R S Manhas and Sunil Verma (Distt president-Udhampur) also spoke on the occasion.
