While addressing election rallies in favour of BJP DDC candidates from Basholi Col.(retd.) Mahan Singh and Mahanpur Tajinder Singh Goldy, he asked the people to be vigilant against the anti-national forces who are hell bent to damage the interests of the nation. He said that the divisive forces in the form of pseudo-political face of separatists have openly looted the resources of the nation and are not happy to see the J&K on the track of development.
Thakur also attacked the Gupkar Gang on Article 370 and said that it prevented vital laws from their timely implementation in J&K. He said that if earlier implemented these laws could have transformed the lives of many communities living in erstwhile J&K State. He said that he remembered the days when he was here in Jammu & Kashmir for many years it was always painful to witness two flags on the top of Civil Secretariat and the National Flag “Tiranga” was not getting due respect here.

Addressing the rallies in various parts of Kathua district party national general secretary, Tarun Chug said the DDC polls are a fight between the nationalist ideology of Pt. Prem Nath Dogra and separatist thinking of Sheikh Mohd. Abdullah.
Chug said that while Pt. Prem Nath Dogra always stood for national Integration and an inclusive approach and took all sections of the society along whereas former president of National Conference and ex Chief Minister J&K, Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah always propagated a separatist agenda.
He said that Sheikh Abdullah played card of regionalism and religion to create division among the people, adding that he never bothered to give equal rights to Gujjars, women and weaker sections of the society and also never extended the benefits of Panchayati Raj in J&K due to which the democracy at grass root level failed to prosper here till now.
Chug said that the party under the capable stewardship of Prime Minister, Narendra Modi has pledged to outspread the inclusive approach of Pt. Prem Nath Dogra in every nook and corner of J&K.
He said that by abrogating Articles 370 and 35A Prime Minister has offered a befitting tribute to Pt. Prem Nath Dogra’s nationalistic Ideology, adding that with the repealing of these draconian articles Modi has set into motion a new beginning for the people of J&K.
Tarun Chug said that the people of J&K has rejected the ideology of separatism and will uproot it completely to move ahead with the nationalistic approach.
He lambasted the PDP and NC for looting J&K’s wealth through scams like Roshni and hand in glove with those who are trying to destabilize and disintegrate India.
Lashing out at Congress for its role in J&K especially in the forthcoming DDC polls, the BJP leader said that it is acting like a B-team of NC and PDP as deep down the party knows that it is a non-entity in J&K.
