Shopian, Apr 29: Democratic Progressive Azad Party chairman and former chief minister Ghulam Nabi Azad on Saturday assured that he will never deceive the people of Jammu and Kashmir and will work in triple shifts to ensure the infrastructure in Jammu and Kashmir is built at par with modern cities and towns if elected to power.
Azad lamented on other political parties for cheating people and making false promises which they never fulfilled. “I assure you whatever I say I will deliver on that unlike political parties who promised sky and delivered nothing on ground,” he said while addressing his workers at a party meeting in Shopian.
The former chief minister said that there has been a trend in the past that legislators visit their constituencies and seek votes from people while making promises but would never return to his people until the next election arrived.
“My party has discipline and I have instructed all my leaders to stay connected with their own people and ensure they are not suffering from genuine issues,” he said.
He reminded people of his era as Chief minister of erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir state and said it was during his tenure that Shopian was granted the status of district.
Azad said that his stand is firm and clear on Article 370 and he was the only representative in the Parliament from Jammu and Kashmir who strongly opposed its abrogation. He said it is the duty and responsibility of his party to take Jammu and Kashmir out of the prevailing crisis and create massive job opportunities for its youth.
Azad said across India we stand at the top level in unemployment and our youth seems frustrated due to non availability of jobs. He said if his party is elected to power, he will ensure this situation doesn’t prevail anymore and enough jobs are provided to the youth.
