JAMMU: Asserting that National Conference will register a massive victory in the elections to Legislative Assembly by maintaining definite edge in all the three regions of Kashmir, Jammu and Ladakh, Provincial President Devender Singh Rana on Monday said coalition culture is not suited to a state like Jammu and Kashmir.
“National Conference derives its strength from the people and the people are determined to have a politically stable government, which steers out the state from the prevailing morass and a nightmarish era of over three years of misgovernance”, Rana said while addressing the party functionaries of the Jammu region at a meeting held at Sher-e-Kashmir Bhavan here this morning.
Rana exuded confidence that with the unflinching support of the people, National Conference under the dynamic leadership of Dr Farooq Abdullah and Omar Abdullah will emerge as a single largest party in all the three regions, as it is visible in every nook and corner of the state. In this context, he spelled out the crucial role of the workers and the grass roots level functionaries, who he described as real strength of National Conference, Rana said their commitment to the policies and programmes and whole hearted support of the people has all along made Sher-e-Kashmir’s great legacy to wither away all obstacles and challenges.
“National Conference has all along been braving conspiracies of the self-seekers and political opportunists and this era has not ended yet, as political arena is full of vested interests who are playing at the tunes of divisive forces to weaken our great party, which is in fact a mass movement of the poor, weak and deprived segments of society”, Rana said, urging the people to remain vigilant against such elements.
“Given the committed cadre base, upright leadership and presence across the state, National Conference is determined to provide a strong, stable and people friendly government, which will assuage the urges and aspirations of all, irrespective of caste, creed or colour”, Rana said, adding that the party will re-emerge with flying colours at the strength of its performance in the government and good will of the masses.
He urged his party colleagues to intensify their field visits for interacting with the people at far off and remote areas and work for seeking redressal to their grievance. He stressed the need for strengthening the party, saying a strong National Conference is guarantee to development and prosperity of the State. He expressed optimism about upcoming elections giving birth to a new era, which will see Omar Abdullah steering the State of Jammu and Kashmir to new heights of progress, development and peace.
Dwelling upon the political environment prevailing in the State, Rana cautioned the people against the divisive politics saying the recent spell of mis-rule was an aberration of Jammu and Kashmir’s political history. He said the nightmarish experience mis-governance plagued with corruption, nepotism and mis-governance will keep haunting the people for a long.
