JAMMU: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders Arvind Gupta, Secretary BJP J&K and MLA from Jammu West, along with senior party leader and MLA Suchetgarh Prof. Gharu Ram Bhagat, conducted a well-attended Public Darbar at the party headquarters in Trikuta Nagar, Jammu.
The Public Darbar witnessed various deputations representing diverse segments of society, particularly from Jammu city and its adjoining areas. Deputations brought forth a range of issues related to essential public services, including Revenue, Public Health Engineering (PHE), Power Development Department (PDD), and Public Works Department (PWD).
Concerns raised by the public included deteriorating road infrastructure, persistent water shortages, non-functional or absent street lights, and the urgent need for the construction and repair of lanes and drains. People also voiced issues related to ration card irregularities and delays in accessing welfare schemes.
The BJP leaders responded promptly by taking up these matters with relevant departmental officials, and in many cases, issued written communications to expedite redressal.
Arvind Gupta emphasized that such forums reflect the BJP’s commitment to responsive and people-centric governance. “Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the government has remained deeply connected with the grassroots. This Darbar shows our dedication to resolving public grievances and ensuring good governance,” he said.
Gupta added that the overwhelming trust placed in BJP by the people underscores the party's reputation for integrity and accountability. He assured that the BJP will continue to serve the public with dedication and ensure that governance reaches even the most marginalized.
Prof. Gharu Ram Bhagat stated that the Public Darbar initiative would be held regularly to strengthen the bridge between the public and administration. He said such outreach fosters transparency and accelerates grievance resolution. Reaffirming BJP’s core philosophy, he highlighted the party’s commitment to Antyodaya, ensuring that the benefits of development reach the last person in the queue.
