ANANTNAG ­ RAJOURILS CONSTITUENCY | BJP to announce candidate shortly: Ravinder Raina - Greater Kashmir

Jammu, Apr 14: J&K BJP President Ravinder Raina today said that his party will soon announce its candidate for Anantnag- Rajouri Lok Sabha (LS) constituency.

He was talking to media persons at Khellani in Udhampur constituency after an election rally. “I am hopeful that our party will announce the candidate shortly. We are also hopeful to win this seat since we have lot of public support in the constituency,” Raina said.

He also addressed public rallies at Korarra, and Marmat. Raina said that for 70 years, Doda, Kishtwar, and Ramban areas were deprived of due development despite of supporting the successive governments led by NC, Congress, and PDP. “Te parties like NC, PDP, and Congress disappointed the people on the name of region and religion for decades together but never thought of developing the region,” the BJP leader said.

He insisted that the major development works, which included functional roads speak of the volumes of development that has been ensured by the Modi government and the endeavours of local MLA Shakti Raj Parihar.

“Now, the NC, PDP and Congress leaders have to perform their roadshows on the roads and bridges built by Shakti Raj Parihar. These leaders remained elusive all these years and now running from pillar to post to do roadshows during election times. The local people will now show them the door with massive voting in favour of BJP’s MP candidate Dr Jitendra Singh on April 19,” said Ravinder Raina.
