NC launches campaign for Nagrota Bye-Elections, vows to uphold legacy of good governance

• Sadhotra, Gupta, Shamim Begum seek mandate from Nagrota based on party’s track record of good governance, inclusive development

JAMMU: The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference today formally launched its campaign for the upcoming Nagrota bye-elections, vowing to seek a fresh mandate based on its proven track record of good governance, development, and inclusive politics. The campaign kick-off took place at Panj Garain, where key Provincial leaders of the Jammu region rallied party workers and supporters, urging them to reach out to the people with a clear message of hope, progress, and stability under NC’s leadership.

Addressing the gathering, Additional General Secretary Ajay Sadhotra highlighted the inclusive and hands-on approach of the Omar Abdullah-led government, particularly in responding to the needs of the people of Jammu during times of crisis like the recent calamity. “Omar Sahib’s personal outreach and responsiveness during the floods reflected the party’s deep-rooted commitment to every region and every community,” he said.

Provincial President Jammu, Rattan Lal Gupta, emphasized the importance of the restoration of the Darbar Move, calling it a significant economic lifeline for Jammu. He said, “National Conference stands for secularism, regional balance, and pro-people governance. It was our party that brought the first people-centric budget, and we continue to champion the cause of the common man.”

The party’s candidate for the Nagrota seat, Shamim Begum, outlined her vision for the constituency. She recalled the transformative development witnessed in Nagrota under previous NC governments—upgraded road connectivity, improved healthcare infrastructure, and significant investment in the education sector. “We will build on that legacy and ensure that Nagrota continues on the path of development and empowerment,” she said.

The National Conference reaffirmed its commitment to inclusive growth, secular values, and transparent governance, calling on the people of Nagrota to give a resounding mandate in favour of progress and stability.
