Raising genuine issues to get addressed in
appropriate time is the task entrusted upon a representative of people in a
democratic frame work. Playing his part, Member Legislative Assembly (MLA),
from Udhampur constituency raised voice for establishing of much awaited university
campus in his constituency. Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) youth leader Sunny
Mahajan alleged that MLA and his party colleagues are deliberately indulging in
cheap politics over establishing of university campus of Udhampur to get
political mileage. Mahajan said that in August 2003, announcement of package of
Rs 30 crore to JU by the then PM, including Rs 5 crore each for Udhampur and
Kathua campuses was already done by BJP and to which works are starting soon.
He warned MLA to refrain from such anti-people activities as such acts will no
longer be tolerated anymore.
“People have elected me to raise their genuine
issues pertaining to them and I will continue to do so in better interest of the
masses, particularly for the people of my constituency” Balwant Singh Mankotia
said.He said people are facing
hardships on various fronts which need immediate addressing and by raising
these issues in no way amounts to grabbing of political mileage.
Political experts are of view that university
camps at Udhampur is no way an issue for BJP but staging protest infront of
Raughnath temple for freeing its one of the building occupied by security
personals by Mankotia has surely
irritated BJP. Issue being public related and more than 15 lakh people in Jammu
and in its surroundings are concerned to which BJP did not wanted to miss at
any cost, but Mankotia being MLA of Udhampur has shown concern worth
appreciations,they added.
Meanwhile, BJP is engaged in preparations for
November 23,24 programmes being
organized at Jammu, wherein number of national executive members and leaders
are expectedly participating, sources informed. It is important to mention that
BJP organized unabated protests for the last two-three against Omar Abdullah
remark on accession and continuous discrimination with Jammu and Ladakh
regions.
