JAMMU, Sept 16: Terming the announcement of the urban local bodies and Panchayat elections, a right decision by the State administration headed by Governor Sat Pal Malik, BJP State spokesperson and MLA Priya Sethi said that it will help in strengthening the democracy at grass root level in the State.
She said that announcement of polls is a befitting reply to regional parties, particularly PDP and NC, which have always blackmailed the Union Government on non-issues and also to separatists, anti India people, anti development parties, who have taken the people of Kashmir to ransom and have time and again exploited them for their vested interests.
Unfortunate part is this that all the regional political parties including the NC and PDP have always played a negative role in the State, BJP State spokesperson alleged. Sethi said by choosing not to be part of democratic process, these political outfits had established that they are not only inimical to peace but also don’t want youth of the State to become a part of democratic process.
One wonders as to how situation in Jammu and Kashmir stays conducive enough to elect MLAs and MPs but deteriorates when it comes to empowering common people to make them partners in development.
Priya Sethi added that those who will be elected will represent their wards, work for their community and can give peace a chance too. She said the decision of holding polls will go a long way in bringing the misguided youth of Kashmir in the mainstream as local representatives elected in Municipal and Panchayat elections will play a key role in bridging the gap between administration and common man in the State.
“The representatives elected in these polls will have complete liaison with people at gross root level and will take the Government schemes to the doorsteps of the people”, Sethi added.
