"ULB polls to empower people"
Jammu, Oct 04: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) J&K Spokesperson, former minister & MLA Priya Sethi today said those claiming to be fighting for the Swabhiman (Honour) are trying to divide the state on the regional, communal and caste basis where as Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in true sense is working to upkeep the dignity, honour and respect of people of all three regions of Jammu and Kashmir state. It's towards this end that BJP gave this state an accountable and transparent government which was sensitive to people's issues.
On the front of development, Ladakh, Kashmir and Jammu besides its Urban and Suburban areas are all getting their due share because of the central and state sponsored schemes which are getting implemented here without any pilferage.
This is for the first time that such a clean and transparent with government ensured that people oriented schemes reach the last beneficiary, she said.
During campaigning  in favour of BJP candidates in  different wards of Jammu East from day on, Priya Sethi said those politicians who have lost their grounds and are trying to gain some foothold by exploiting the sentiments of people are out to sabotage ongoing developmental processes.
She said it is the Bharatiya Janata Party which is working towards strengthening Swabhiman (Honour) of not only Dogras only  but also of Kashmiris, Ladakhis, Paharis, Gujjars, Bakerwals and all other irrespective of their cast, creed, region or religion.
This is the reason BJP is making inroads in Kashmir, Kargil and other areas. This is people's faith in BJP and it's leadership and because of policies of party that more and more people are joining BJP and strengthening it. 'Unlike Congress, NC or PDP we don't encourage dynastic rules and neither do we do politics of hatred and divide', She added.
The first ever women MLA of J & K  of BJP  party   and a strong leader of State  Priya Sethi urged people to vote  for their  candidates to strengthen Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC) and send right minded people into the Corporation. Victory of BJP candidates and  ensure massive development for the reason that it's candidates have a vision and enthusiasm to develop their cities, towns and villages.
The ongoing local body elections and proposed Panchayat elections are part of that process which will give people their right to be elected to the democratic institutions, work for their own wards, Panchayat and villages, plan their own developments and live and honourable and dignified life. She said certain corrupt leaders who when in power should have raised voice in favour of holding elections are today feeling ashamed for not having set rolling a democratic  canvassing  and are canvassing with their head hung in shame.
Former Minister informed that Central government schemes especially those aimed at empowering women are all meant to give this section of the society and honorable life, Be it Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, Jan Dhan Yojana or free distribution of gas connections they are all meant to make women powerful and and end their miseries which they were facing till date.
