JAMMU: The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (NC) Provincial President, Jammu, Rattan Lal Gupta and Shamim Begum Candidate for Nagrota Assembly Constituency, addressed a series of workers gatherings in the Baran in Bhalwal block of the Nagrota Assembly constituency on Sunday.
Addressing the massive gathering, Gupta questioned the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) victory in the Rajya Sabha elections, raising doubts about the authenticity of the results. “The BJP had only 28 legislators — where did the 32 votes come from? The BJP must come clean on this. How can a party that secured a seat through dishonesty claim to represent the people of Jammu in the highest temple of democracy (i.e Rajya Sabha)?” Gupta asked.
Lashing out at the BJP, Gupta said the party’s rhetoric on “development and progress” had proven hollow, as nothing substantial had been delivered to the people of Jammu over the past decade. “A decade of BJP’s misrule has left lakhs of youth unemployed. No new additions have been made in the fields of health, education, road, or surface connectivity. The prestigious institutions that have come up in Jammu were initiated by the National Conference during its previous tenure, and much of the groundwork on these projects was completed under our government,” he said.
Referring to ongoing works at the Mubarak Mandi Complex and the new Assembly building, Gupta said these projects—neglected for years—are now witnessing progress because of the foundation laid by the NC. He further highlighted that it was Omar Abdullah’s government which restored the Darbar Move, aimed at fostering brotherhood across regions and promoting trade and commerce in Jammu.
Gupta praised Shamim Begum, the party’s candidate from Nagrota, describing her as a leader with a “proven track record of development and dedicated service.” He expressed confidence that she would continue her good work in the constituency if elected. Urging party workers to intensify their outreach efforts, Gupta said, “Go door to door and share the record of development and good governance achieved under Omar Abdullah’s leadership.”
Shamim Begum National Conference Candidate 77-Nagrota Assembly Constituency addressed the gatherings, highlighting the Omar Abdullah-led government’s performance and commitment to inclusive development. She appealed to party workers to seek votes based on the NC’s proven record of good governance and public service.
Meanwhile Abdul Gani Aftab State Secretary Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) joined the National Conference keeping in view the progressive vision and programmes of leadership of National Conference Jenab Dr. Farooq Abdullah and Jenab Omar Abdullah.
Among others who were present in the meeting included: Joginder Singh Kaku DDC Dansal, Satwant Kour Dogra Provincial President Women Wing Jammu, Rakesh Singh Raka Vice President Central Zone, Mehmood Rizvi Advocate, Rajni Devi Working President Women Wing Jammu, Aruna Thakur, Ranjit Singh, Balwant Singh and others.
