SRINAGAR: Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP) Chairman Ghulam Nabi Azad on Monday said the divisive politics over the years have broken the social bonds with development taking a back seat.
Urging his party workers to gear up for the assembly, parliamentary, local bodies, and Panchayat polls Azad said that he will build up the Chenab Valley’s infrastructure at par with modern cities, and towns if elected to power.
“People have to wake up and defeat the divisive and communal forces and vote for the development, peace, and prosperity of Jammu and Kashmir. The elections for assembly, panchayat, and local bodies in Jammu and Kashmir are imminent and whenever are held I am sure our party will emerge as one of the largest political parties in the region, and in Chenab Valley, we will sweep,” Azad said while addressing party workers at Changa in Doda district on the last day of his three days’ extensive tour of the district.
Azad said that only healthy politics can usher in a new dawn of peace and development in the UT of Jammu and Kashmir.
“When I was the Chief Minister of erstwhile state, I build up its infrastructure-sanctioned colleges, hospitals, schools, and road network to connect this landlocked region with the rest of the country. Today hundreds of students from these institutions after completing their education and are proving their mettle at national and international platforms. If I get yet another chance to serve my people Chenab Valley will emerge as the hub of economic and educational activities,” he said.
He said the SC and ST community’s hardships can’t be ignored and he will also ensure to and fro free transportation of their livestock during the migration to green pastures.
Adding further he said, “We are aware of the hardships of the people who were rendered landless after the revocation of the Roshni Act. Our party would ensure that the act will be restored to benefit the poor and landless people.”
