Addressing a meeting of senior leaders, contesting candidates, DCC functionaries and delegates and Block presidents of Jammu District here today Khan said that Congress is the only alternative available to the people in all three regions of the State and people have made up their mind to bring back Congress to power. “The people of Jammu have experienced that BJP has cheated them on different emotional slogans and false promises only to achieve power but back-tracked on all those issues for the sake of sharing power,” he said.
