INDERWAL, Nov 07: People’s Democratic Party (PDP) president, Mehbooba Mufti today said the National Conference and Congress are facing a worst defeat but the imminent change can become more purposeful and productive if the PDP is given a clear mandate in the Assembly elections.
Addressing an impressive public meeting in Inderwal Assembly constituency of Kishtwar district, she said the Chenab Valley is looking enthusiastic about joining the winds of change blowing across the State.
Mehbooba said wherever she went during her current tour of the region; she could clearly see an unprecedented expression of energy for changing the present rotten system in the State amid the belief of the people that PDP is the only option available to them. She said all the sections of the society in the Chenab region have joined hands to bring a change in Government and political system like the people in Kashmir.
The PDP president said there was a significant shift among the sections of the people who had voted in Lok Sabha elections for a change at the national level with their preference at the State level now revolving only around the PDP.
“I am glad to see people rising above caste and religion lines to close their ranks behind the PDP in the hope of brining in a Government headed by Mufti Mohammad Sayeed and reviving the process of reconciliation, reconstruction and rehabilitation in the State,” Mehbooba Mufti added.
Mehbooba said the Congress as a major partner in the outgoing Government has no achievement to show to those people who had voted for it last time in the hope of accelerated development.
Expressing her confidence that the candidates of the PDP in Chenab region will be elected so as to make this region a participant in change, Mehbooba said the present dispensation has politicized every Government project and work in the region so as to benefit its workers and relatives.
She said bad road connectivity is the major cause of concern in the entire region and if voted to form the Government PDP will seriously address this issue. “Besides upgrading the existing road network, PDP will take up new project so that the people will get relief,” she said.
Senior party leader, Peer Mohammad Hussain; Abdul Majid, candidate for Inderwal constituency; Abdul Rehman Kashmiri and Talib Hussain were also spoke on the occasion.
