The people of both the regions are equally dependent upon each other.”
“The peaceful co-existence and development is the agenda of the Apni Party and the people have extended their support to the party,” he said claiming that if Apni Party is voted to power, they will ensure development, clean drinking water and electricity in all the villages of J&K.
Former MLC and Apni Party General Secretary, Vijay Bakaya said, “Elections for DDC is a historic step to take democracy to gross-root level and exhorted the audience to vote.”
Speaking on the occasion, Party Coordinator for Jammu Central, Pranav Shagotra said that the party has been working for the youth in J&K.
He said that the people should understand that they have to come out and take initiatives to set an example for others.
