JAMMU, Apr 5: Gearing up election campaign in favour of Anil Gupta, its candidate for Kathua-Doda Lok Sabha constituency JKDF today apprised the voters about the party ideology and it’s stand regarding the issues related to the six districts of this constituency and also the fair representation of the aspirations of the people of this region in the Parliament.
In an impressive rally at Reasi, overwhelming response was given from youth, students, ladies and prominent citizens of the area who gathered in huge numbers to support the candidature of Anil Gupta.
Addressing the rally former Union Minister and MLA Jammu West, Prof Gupta said, “I have served the people of this State throughout my life and did my best to come up to the expectations of the masses. I am emotionally attached with this region as I represented it in the Parliament of country thrice. The pains and agony of the people of this region is better understood by me. During the early ninetees when this whole belt was under the grab of militancy, the formation of VDCs and SPOs played a vital role in fighting the militancy and helped to eliminate the militants from this region. But these youth are still to get what they deserve for their services to the nation’’, he added.
Besides, there are still a large number of issues like unemployment, education and development where this region is lagging far behind the other districts. “We will take this struggle forward till we achieve our goals. Owing to old-age I have shouldered these responsibilities to my son Anil Gupta, who will take forward this movement with JKDF and supporters to fulfill the dream of building a new Jammu’’, Prof Gupta said. Anil is a young leader and full of enthusiastic ideas, we hope he will guide the party in right perspective and serve the masses with zeal to regain the pride of Dogras. I wish him good luck and appeal the people to vote and support Anil to provide him a chance to serve the people of this region’’.
