Reached Doda, Campaigned for Azad
Srinagar: The Congress vice president
Rahul Gandhi on Friday took a dig on BJP accusing it of fanning
communal fires in India.
In his 24 minutes address to a joint public rally
organized by Congress and National Conference at Doda stadium today, Rahul said
that the forthcoming elections will be a fight between two ideologies.
According to KNS Doda correspondent, Rahul said that he
cherishes a special relation with the people of Jammu and Kashmir as he has
family roots with this place. “I cannot feel your pain and miseries as at
present I am not living here but I can assure you that I will be always at the
forefront with the helping hand to support you.”
Stating that he was cautioned not to visit University of
Kashmir in the past, Rahul said that he undermined all the suggestions and
despite visited the varsity and listened to students’ grievances. I
personally persuaded the industrialists to visit university campus for the job
placement drive and through Udaan and Himayat, thousands were benefited at
large.
Rahul stated that the expansion of railways in the state
was done on priority and the six way lane on Jammu-Srinagar highway cannot be
undermined. “Mughal road and Zojila tunnel are the achievements that must be
looked into.”
The INC vice-president stated that rupees 750 crore are
being spent so that the woman of the state could be empowered by launching self
employment schemes. “In UP, more than 10 lakh women were empowered with such
schemes and the same shall be followed here with zeal and zest. I took Omar
along to UP so that he could get the idea of the scheme at UP and implements
the same in JK.”
“We did three big works in the state- One is
incorporation of Panchayat raj act, generation of employment and third is
empowerment of women,” Rahul said. Expressing confidence that Congress- NC
alliance will register a marvelous win in Jammu and Kashmir, Rahul said that
everyone will be taken along towards the path of development in the state.
Rahul while alleging that BJP stole the manifesto of
Congress said that it took the party six months to prepare the manifesto but
BJP stole it. “We went to people, listened to their grievances and then
prepared the manifesto but it took BJP a movement to steal everything.”
Rahul was addressing an election rally organised jointly
by National Conference and state Congress to campaign for its candidate, Ghulam
Nabi Azad. The Congress vice president reached Doda, and addressed a huge
gathering in the local ground. He was flanked by Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah
and state congress president Saif-ul-din Soz, senior Congress leaders Abdul
Majid Wani, Mohammad Sharief Niyaz and NC leader Sajad Ahmad Kitchloo. (KNS)
