The meeting reviewed  the preparation for the ongoing process for the  conduct of elections to Municipal Corporation Jammu/ ULBs and  discussed  the measures to  further  gearing up  the organizational activities in the State.

Mr. Mir  stressed upon the need to have a coordinated  effort to  expose the  misdeeds  of the  BJP  before the public and also organize the grass root  workers to give inputs with regard the selection of best candidates of the party,. He also said  those found  indulging in any kind of antiparty activities would not be spared and candidates with their loyality  and dedication towards the party  and ideology would be chosen for the party tickets based on inputs from the  party cadres.

`Responding to the concern of former Minister Shri Mula Ram  regarding the deliberate attempt to reserve wards for SCs with less  or inadequate population of SC in the  said Wards,  Shri Mir said that party has already  submitted  objections to the election authority with regard to the  irregularities and  abnormalities in the reservation and rotation of wards in the corporation  and other ULBs. He hoped that the same shall be reviewed  and re-examined in accordance with law and norms in the matter, in a transparent manner.

Mr. Mir said that the Congress has  the credit of establishing  the Panchayat Raj system throughout the Country and it was the result of great struggle and efforts of congress that the   73rd and 74th amendments were incorporated  in the  state laws to further empower the Panchayats and ULBs which are basic institutions of democracy. He said that now the ULBs and Panchayats bodies would be constituted in accordance  with the all silent features of the 73rd  and 74th amendment of the Constitution, which would usher into an era of setting up of fully empowered Panchayat Raj system in the state.

Mir said that the PDP-BJP coalition Govt. in its 10 month rule have made the Panchayats totally defunct and non-functional and their rights were usurped by the  ruling legislators and Ministers in the matter of local developments. He said that the Panchayats were bypassed ion every sphere and were subjected to the jurisdiction and dictates of the officials.

He asked the party leaders and workers to  fan out in their respective areas and maintain close rapport with the people, who were feeling cheated by the false slogans of BJP in Jammu Region. He said that people are suffering due to the derailment of ration system in the State due to the faulty and unplanned system adopted by the PDP-BJP Govt. in the manner, as a result every household especially poor and common people are facing great hardships, while the BJP and PDP leaders are worried only about formation of their unholy alliance for the sake of power, ignoring the resentment of people about their  most opportunist roles in the post election scene.
