Dr. Jitendra Singh, while thanking the voters of Kathua-Udhampur-Doda Constituency, said that BJP has scripted a history in the State’s Polity when one of the tallest Congress leader and Union Cabinet Minister was made to eat humble pie by the voters and hard and dedicated work of party activists. He said that in spite of making all out efforts to lure the voters by the coalition candidate and leaders by various allurements, people preferred to give BJP unprecedented win. The voters have voted for progress security and safety in the constituency rejecting the divisive politics and campaign of the Congress. He said that the BJP victory is a vindication of party’s agenda and stand on Jammu and Kashmir.
