SRINAGAR: Chairman DPAP, Ghulam Nabi Azad on Friday stressed for strengthening the party’s outreach to the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
During the meetings in both Jammu and Srinagar, Azad urged party leaders and workers to actively engage with the public, raise their issues and ensure that the voices of the people are heard.
He also called upon the workers to prepare themselves for the upcoming local body and panchayat elections, stressing the need for grassroots mobilisation and advocacy on the issues that matter most to the people of the region.
Azad reaffirmed the DPAP’s commitment to fighting for the rights and welfare of the people and highlighted the importance of being well-prepared for the elections to secure a strong representation in local governance.
“The time has come to reconnect with the masses and address their concerns,” Azad said, adding,”We must be ready to serve the people and ensure that their issues are brought to the forefront.”
He said, “What I assured the people before becoming CM, I did double the development. And in the recently held elections, we spoke the same. My focus is only on development. Neither will I mislead, lie nor resort to emotional tactics to lure votes. I hope the people will realise that those who gained power through fake slogans and emotional appeals have betrayed them. He continued, “We should always promise what we can deliver. My politics is based solely on honesty and truth.” Azad highlighted the growing hardships faced by the people, stating, “Our focus will be only on development, as the people are suffering. There is an ongoing electricity crisis, and high electricity bills have placed an unbearable burden on families. Hospitals are understaffed, and schools are facing similar challenges”.
He added, “The government must focus on resolving these pressing public issues. With winter approaching, it is crucial that the government immediately increases the quantity of free rations to ensure that no one is left struggling.”
