Jammu, Dec 26:
Former Minister and senior Congress leader Raman Bhalla today said that vote for Congress will be a vote for stability, peace and prosperity of country and Jammu and Kashmir State in particular. He said that no one except Congress can give nation a stable government which is the need of hour.
The country, he added was passing through most sensitive phase and elections of divisive or communal forces to power would destabilise its economy in a big way. Maximum development took place during the tenure of Congress Govt which till date has remained matchless.
He urged people to sense gravity of situation and vote a secular, progressive and visionary political outfit like Congress to power which has a legacy of building nation and bring peace and prosperity in Jammu and Kashmir State in particular.
The kind of development state witnessed in health sector and other fields is par excellence and only Congress can stretch that development further.
Bhalla asserted that Congress government in Jammu and Kashmir had achieved tremendous success with active support of people. The kind of infrastructure it had developed matches international standards. Empowerment of Panchayats, setting up of new administrative units for giving people easy access to government and central schemes aimed at giving countrymen Right to Food, Right to Education and Right to Information had all shown tremendous response. He urged people to not fall a prey to farce and frivolous campaigns launched by BJP to woo voters merely to snatch power.Bhalla added that it was because of various centrally sponsored schemes Like PMGSY, NRHM, JNNURM, SSA and IAY that villages and cities all witnessed widespread development.
The Congress government he added worked for equitable development of all three regions of the state and it was during this era that schools, colleges, hospitals, roads, Panchayat Ghars and other infrastructure were developed in abundance. The liberal funding by central government, he said enabled the state to progress by leaps and bounds.
