SRINAGAR: A crucial meeting of the Srinagar District leadership of Janata Dal (United) Jammu & Kashmir was held today at the party office in Srinagar. The meeting, chaired by State President G.M. Shaheen and attended by District President Srinagar Mr. Waseem along with all executive leaders, focused on gearing up for the upcoming municipal elections across Jammu & Kashmir. Shaheen called these elections a decisive opportunity for JDU to prove its organizational strength and service-oriented politics.

Shaheen directed leaders to intensify work at the booth level, ensuring that the message of the party reaches every household. He emphasized JDU’s commitment to clean governance, civic development, youth empowerment, and public grievance redressal at the grassroots level. He urged leaders to maintain unity, close coordination, and direct connect with the people.

The JDU’s election agenda, with the slogan “Har Booth Par JDU – Har Ghar Tak Awaz!”, promises better roads, drainage, street lights, clean water, and waste management. It also focuses on youth employment, women’s empowerment in local governance, corruption-free administration, and ward-level committees for quick redressal of issues. Shaheen assured that party candidates will be chosen from among respected, service-oriented local faces.

Declaring the party’s intent, Shaheen said: “Municipal elections are not just about seats, they are about bringing real change to our mohallas and wards. JDU stands for honesty, service, and development.” He added that the campaign will resonate with the slogans: “Janta Ki Baat – JDU Ke Saath,” “Seva, Vikas aur Imaan – JDU Ki Pehchaan,” and “Nagar Palika Mazboot, Awaam Ko Faiyda – JDU Ka Vaada.” He called upon the people of Jammu & Kashmir to give JDU a chance and pledged integrity, development, and responsive governance.
