He said that the people cannot be befooled any more in this era of communication boom but Congress men are still having same misconception of getting favour of the voters, which would now remain a dream.
“While Congress was in power for more than five decades, its leaders even don’t have five achievements to claim during all these years but the sitting MP has brought revolution in entire Parliamentary Constituency with Kathua witnessing massive development”, Balbir said and added that there is a long list of works done by the sitting MP and Congress leaders must go through them before going public with baseless and false statements.
