UDHAMPUR, Dec 8: Adjuring the sea of people to vote and support Panthers Party candidate from DDC Khoon, Manju Singh, the NPP leaders asked the people to decimate and weed out BJP at all costs which had given people nothing accept the ‘bouquet of betrayals’ in the past six years.
Panthers Party’s mega rally took entire Khoon by storm where the people had assembled in thousands to listen to their adored leaders. The rally was addressed by Prof Bhim Singh, chief patron JKNPP, Harsh Dev Singh, chairman JKNPP, Balwant Singh Mankotia, president JKNPP, Yash Paul Kundal, J&K president Young Panthers and Manju Singh.
Addressing the gathering, Prof Bhim Singh emphasized that JKNPP being a secular regional party alone could represent the people of J&K and Jammu region in particular. He said that since all other parties including the BJP had belied the hopes and aspirations of the masses, Panthers Party had stood firm to emerge as a reckoning force to liberate them from the decades old socio-political discrimination.
He said that with the entire concentration of the successive State as well as Central Governments on Kashmir, the Jammu region was perpetually left neglected economically and politically to face severe identity crisis. “Only Panthers Party can restore the pristine glory of the Dogras. Vote for us. Vote for change”, Bhim Singh vociferated.
Harsh Dev Singh accused the BJP of having made unwholesome compromises by it for power sake during coalition rule. He said that Jammu’s deprivation regretfully continued even post Art 370 abrogation thereby belying the tall claims of the Central and State leadership of the saffron party.
“Leave aside the slogan of equitable development of Jammu region, the self praising leaders of BJP could not even get the collective demand of Jammu for holiday on Maharaja Hari Singh’s birthday fulfilled causing the greatest disappointment amongst their own electorates,” roared Harsh.
Pointing towards the lengthy list of surrenders made by J&K BJP on nationalist issues, Balwant Singh Mankotia and Yash Paul Kundal said its latest surrenders include the cancellation of J&K Bank selection list in view of Jammu region getting a higher share in the said selections besides doling out the most discriminatory treatment ever in the Fire Services selections to Jammu youth.
