BISHNAH: Independent candidate from Bishnah Assembly Constituency, Ram Pal Khajuria conducted door to door campaign in various parts of his Assembly constituency and appealed to people to give massive mandate to him and give befitting reply to all Crorepatti candidates of Congress, NC, PDP and BJP who are only the representatives of the parties but not the representatives of the public.
Ram Pal Khajuria strongly objected the remarks of one of the Ex. Congress minister who has raised the point at the time of election that next Chief Minister should be a Hindu which they had forgotten for so many years. “Under present system Kashmir province has 46 seats and Jammu province has 37 Assembly seats inspite of the fact that Jammu province is much bigger than Kashmir Province both in area and population” he mentioned adding that under this state of affairs it is impossible to have CM of any caste or religion from Jammu province and talking about Hindu CM is just a cry in wilderness.
“It would have been better if delimitation would have been implemented by amending the 29th Amendment Bill by which the next delimitation of the State would take place after census of 2026. The special status of the State under Article 370 cannot come on way in the constitutional amendment as it never come when 29th Amendment was passed. How did these parties adopt criminal silence in the State Assembly in 2002 when 29th amendment was passed he questioned?
He urged upon the Jammu based opposition leaders to stop shedding crocodile tears on Jammu politics as they have failed to introduce Amendment Bill in the last budget session to ensure formation of De-limitation Commission for the welfare of Jammu region. He further said that NC and PDP are chips of the same block and never want due share of Jammu in State Assembly.
