KHOON: 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 State President JKNPP, Yash Paul Kundal State President Young Panthers and Manju Singh besides other leaders.
Addressing the colossal gathering, Prof. Bhim 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. Elucidating the traumatic subjugation being experienced by the people of Jammu region over the years in all spheres, he said that ‘Reorganization of J&K’ was the ultimate solution for all its problems.
He said that with the entire concentration of the successive State as well as central govts 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.
While receiving accolades from the gathering, Harsh 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. The Dogra pride received multiple dents under the coalition rule which would continue to haunt the people of Jammu for years. “Is there anything more valuable than self pride? And is there anything ghastlier then insult to our honour?” roared Harsh.
“While FIRs were lodged against Army and CRPF and amnesty granted to anti nationals and stone-pelters, the BJP and its Cheer leaders remained conspicuously silent and tight lipped with Jammu related issues having been consigned to dustbin merely to remain glued to power. Where were the so called star campaigners of BJP who swore by the sovereignty and nationalism at the drop of hat and nailed anyone and everyone for not doing enough for the security forces and for nationalist people. Saffron Party made one surrender after the other under the smoke screen of national interest during their 3 ½ year rule and even during the present central rule in J&K. Its time for JKNPP. We shall win all 14 DDC seats of district Udhampur”, roared Harsh.
Pointing towards the lengthy list of surrenders made by State BJP on nationalist issues, Mankotia and Kundal said that its leaders in J&K had caused the greatest disappointment to their own supporters as well by abandoning its age old principles.
Manju Singh, State General Secretary–JKNPP and DDC candidate Khoon said that with state BJP’s having lost its credibility in Jammu region, it was NPP alone which could fill the void and provide an alternative to the people of Jammu region.
