JAMMU, Jan 10: Several Congress leaders and workers from Marh and Jammu North joined the Democratic Azad Party here today.
The leaders include Lala Devi Das, Saudhgar Singh Saini, Ashvani Sharma, Ashok Bhagat, Swarna Bhagat, Bishan Bhagat, Somnath Dogra and many others.
They joined the Party in presence of DAP Chairman Ghulam Nabi Azad and pledged to march with the party’s developmental agenda in Jammu and Kashmir.
“We believe the DAP is the only alternative political party in Jammu and Kashmir that can take it out of present situation. We are quite satisfied with Ghulam Nabi Azad Sahib for his developmental agenda since he proved it as erstwhile Jammu Kashmir state’s Chief Minister. So we decided to join it,” the leaders said.
Speaking on the occasion, Azad assured the new entrants that he will take every one on board and ensure Jammu Kashmir is one among the top developed UT’s of the country. “The people are gradually understanding and endorsing our agenda of development for Jammu and Kashmir. The joining of new faces from other parties amply reflect their desire for change. DAP is an alternative force and we believe in change and development,” he said.
Azad said that Jammu’s potential is yet to be explored in its full form. Whenever elections happen and if we are elected to power, DAP will ensure it emerges as one among the top developed cities, he added.
Among others present on the occasion were general secretary RS.Chib, Ashok Sharma, Maheshwar Singh and others.
