Congress set to register massive winin upcoming Assembly election in J&K: Bhalla

Jammu, Nov 08: JKPCC working-president Raman Bhalla Tuesday asked the central government when it would ensure a congenial atmosphere for elections to take place in Jammu and Kashmir and elect a government of the people.
Bhalla asserted that Congress will emerge as the single largest party in upcoming Assembly elections by maintaining an edge in Jammu and Kashmir. “If some people want to take pleasure by day dreaming they are free to do so but the ground situation is not going to change,” he said.
He, however, cautioned the people against “vicious propaganda” being spread by political parties with eye on votes and said their entire edifice stands on falsehood and populism.
He took dig at these parties, especially for making tall claims on the numbers in the ensuing elections, saying their political relevance is a big question mark.
He said people will never forget replacing state subject laws, ignoring the historic reality that it was Maharaja Hari Singh who enacted this revolutionary legislation in 1927 to save the people of Jammu and Kashmir from dominance of elite and affluent sections of non-state subjects.
“Given the committed cadre base, upright leadership and presence across J&K, Congress will provide a stable government,” Bhalla said.
He urged the party cadre to put up their best for meeting the challenge and steer Congress to massive victory.
Describing workers and the grass roots level functionaries as the real strength of Congress, Bhalla said their commitment to the policies and programmes and whole hearted support of the people has all along made Congress great legacy to wither away all obstacles and challenges.
Speaking on the occasion, Bhalla impressed upon the need for a massive mandate to Congress, saying this is imperative for taking bold decisions with regard to development and implementation of various welfare programmes.
Referring to the revolutionary measures like Public Services Guarantee and Right to Information Acts taken by Congress Govt, Bhalla said these were essentially aimed at making the Government accountable, administration responsive and people empowered to ask questions.
