JAMMU Dec 12: Provincial President NC Jammu Rattan Lal Gupta has asked the party cadre to gear up for the upcoming Urban Local Body (ULB) polls.
He was addressing a meeting of Jammu Urban NC here at Sher-e-Kashmir Bhawan in Jammu on Monday. The meeting was organized by Chander Mohan Sharma District President Jammu Urban.
The NC leader from Jammu alleged that the Jammu Municipal Corporation has become the den of corruption and the people are fed up of the poor performance given by the incumbent helmsman running the municipality.
Rattan Lal said that the Municipal Corporation has miserably failed to address civic issues in Jammu and change of guard by the BJP leadership at the fag-end is testimony to the fact that everything was not good in running the affairs of the JMC.
He alleged that siphoning of funds and unproductive expenditure made the municipality in Jammu unproductive and therefore it is the time for the National Conference activists to expose all these facts before the people to garner their support and win the aforesaid polls.
He asked the NC cadre to gird up loins to make a mark in the forthcoming ULB polls as the chances of the party are bright this time because people have been disappointed by the poor performance of JMC under BJP leadership.
Gupta said that ground level workers can play the active role in changing the course of ULB polls therefore it is significant that NC cadre should mobilize the grass-root level workers to ensure resounding victory in the upcoming polls. He said that only the National Conference can address people’s problems for which the party cadre will have to further strengthen the base of the party at grass roots level.
