JAMMU: Arvind Gupta, Secretary BJP J&K and MLA from Jammu West, conducted a well-attended Public Darbar at the party headquarters in Trikuta Nagar, Jammu. The Public Darbar attracted a large number of people from Jammu city and surrounding areas, with various deputations representing different sections of society. Deputations presented a range of pressing civic and administrative concerns, highlighting the everyday challenges faced by the people, particularly related to basic services and infrastructure.

Key issues raised during the interaction included the deterioration of road infrastructure, chronic water shortages, frequent electricity outages, non-functional or absent street lights, and the urgent need for repair and maintenance of lanes and drains. Citizens also brought attention to problems related to ration card discrepancies, delayed implementation of welfare schemes, and lack of responsiveness from some government departments.

Addressing the grievances with promptness, Arvind Gupta assured the attendees that all issues flagged during the Darbar would be taken up with the concerned departments on priority. In many cases, immediate written communications were issued to the relevant officials, urging swift action and accountability. He reiterated that the BJP is committed to ensuring that no citizen is left unheard and no issue is left unresolved.

Speaking to the media after the event, Gupta stated, “The BJP has always believed in direct engagement with the people. The Public Darbar is an effective platform for citizens to voice their concerns and for us to respond in real time. Under the visionary leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi, our government remains deeply rooted in grassroots democracy and is focused on delivering effective, transparent, and responsive governance.”

He further emphasized that the overwhelming participation in the Public Darbar reflects the deep trust and confidence that people place in the BJP. “It is a matter of pride and responsibility for us. We are determined to live up to the expectations of the public and ensure that governance is both inclusive and result-oriented,” Gupta added.
