JAMMU, May 29: “Having experimented with various traditional parties, both national and regional, the people of J&K were disappointed lot and desperately seeking a change in the political landscape of the erstwhile state. Their disenchantment with such parties was conspicuously manifesting itself in ever increasing number of political activists, professionals, women and youth joining Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) which had emerged as the only a ray of hope in the UT,” former minister and senior AAP leader Harsh Dev Singh said today.
Talking to media-persons here today, the senior AAP leader said 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. “The gigantic emergence of AAP would prove a turning point in the political history of J&K,” Singh said after dozens of senior leaders of NPP including its District presidents joined Aam Aadmi Party.
“Not only had the AAP revolutionized the Education and Health sector in Delhi but had also set an example of moral propriety of highest order by sacking one of its own ministers in Punjab. It’s policy of free power and drinking water had earned it a massive support not only in the states ruled by it but also across the nation. The new scholarship scheme announced by Kejriwal Govt in Delhi for the children of labourers had received nationwide acclaim,” Singh added.
He said party believed in upliftment of the poor, down trodden and common masses who had been disregarded and neglected by successive govts in the past. The meteoric rise of the party was the outcome of the pro-people policies pursued by it and its focused attention on mitigating the sufferings of the common man, Singh asserted.
Yash Paul Kundal, former minister and senior AAP leader urged upon the new entrants to contribute their might for strengthening the Party in J&K. 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 joined the AAP today included Sheikh Imtiyaz Bashir (District president NPP Kishtwar), Mushtaq Ahmed Choudhary (District president NPP Rajouri), Rampaul Bhagat (District president NPP Udhampur), Balbir Singh Anthal (Provincial vice president NPP Jammu), Shiv Dev Singh (Provincial general secretary NPP), Sagar Dev Singh, Madan Lal Sharma, Onkar Singh, Mohd Hanief Sheikh, Haji Ghulam Rather, Ghulam Hussain and others.
