JAMMU, Aug 4: Additional general secretary of National Conference (NC) and former Minister, Ajay Sadhotra has strongly criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for its role in weakening democracy in Jammu and Kashmir.
Addressing a public meeting at Shastri Nagar (Jammu), Sadhotra accused the Central Government for augmenting more powers to the Lt Governor, thereby diminishing the authority and influence of elected representatives. He said it is unfortunate that people sitting at helm have weakened the status of elected representatives through the aforesaid move.
The former Minister asked the Party workers to gear up for the ensuing Assembly polls as NC’s victory shall be the victory of the people of J&K because no other party in the region is capable of satiating the aspirations of the people.
