“Now it is the time for the public to take a decision if for future of Jammu they want to promote upright and hard working people or give priority to the opportunist people who were nowhere in COVID pandemic,” he maintained adding, “Such opportunist lots only other show faces at the time of polls and remain away when the public is in tough times.”
The Mayor said that it is a good development for the people of Jammu that the institution of JMC has now been empowered to a large extent for the public and it was the vision of PM Modi to have democracy at grass root level and which is now visible on the ground here.
