UDHAMPUR, Oct 20: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) held a rally at Udhampur to felicitate son of the soil, Harsh Dev Singh, former Minister and three times MLA who had been recently declared as Chairman of J&K AAP State Co-ordination Committee.
The rally, comprising several bikes, motor cars, minibuses, buses carrying party workers and supporters, started from Tikri and passed through several localities and markets including Garhi, Rehmbal, Chopra-shop, Domail, Salathia Chowk, Talab Sailan, Kaller and culminated at Kashirah where the senior leader of the party addressed the mega event.
Describing Aam Aadmi Party as the lone voice of the poor and downtrodden, Harsh Dev Singh said that it alone could fulfil the aspirations of the public at large and steer the erstwhile State out of the morass of poverty, underdevelopment, corruption and communalism.
He said that having experimented with various traditional parties, both national and regional, the people of J&K were a disappointed lot desperately seeking a change in the political landscape of the erstwhile State. “Their disenchantment with such parties was conspicuously manifesting itself in ever increasing numbers of political activists, professionals, women and youth joining AAP which has emerged as the only a ray of hope in the UT,” he said and added that the revolutionary moves of AAP in Delhi and Punjab had once again revived the people’s faith in the political system with common masses awaiting the much needed change in J&K as well.
Claiming that the gigantic emergence of AAP would prove a turning point in the political history of J&K, Singh said that not only had the AAP revolutionized the Education and Health sector in Delhi but also set an example of moral propriety of highest order by sacking one of its own ministers in Punjab.
Yash Paul Kundal, former Minister and Chairman SC/ST Cell of AAP, urged upon the party activists to contribute their might for strengthening the Party in J&K and for carrying forward the policies and programmes of Kejriwal. He expressed the hope that peoples’ growing support for AAP would surely catapult it as the largest party of J&K in the coming times.
Prominent among those who spoke on the occasion, included Raj Kapoor, Rajesh Padgotra, Amit Kapoor, Harpreet Singh, Dharam Singh, Col Som Raj, Ravi Shastri, Rampaul Bhagat, Balbir Singh Anthal, Nazia Farooqi, Meena Kumari, Rajesh Verma, Pawan Dev, Lovely Sambyal and others.
