JAMMU, May 3:
A meeting of District Congress Committee Jammu Urban was held here today at PCC HQ Shahidi Chowk Jammu presided over by Sh. Vikram Malhotra -District President and attended by DCC Office bearers, Block & Ward Presidents and corporators.
Floral tributes were paid to the CRPF personnel martyred in a IED blast planted by Naxals in Maharashtra’s Gadchiroli District, Yesterday. Two minutes silence was observed and prayed for peace to the departed souls. While paying tributes Mr. Vikram Malhotra said that Prime Minister Narinder Modi took the decision of demonetization and had claimed that by this decision the terrorist & Nexal funding would be stopped and there would be no terrorist/nexal related incidents any more. Instead, the terrorist-nexal activities have been increased during past five years Modi regime. The demonetization adversely affected the small scale industries & farmers and snatched the jobs of several lakhs of poor people of the country.
Mr. Malhotra said that there are reports of biased attitude of Mayor and Dy. Mayor towards development in various areas of Jammu City. All the Block Presidents and Corporators of Congress party have reported that the development projects submitted by Congress Corporators are being rejected and are those submitted by BJP corporators are being approved by the Major and Dy. Mayor. He said that this is not good sign of healthy politics. One they have been elected, they are Major & Dy. Major of Jammu City and not a particular area. As such Congress Corporators should also be taken in confidence while undertaking development in their respective areas.
