Jammu, Mar 29 (UNI) Union Minister and BJP Candidate for Udhampur Lok Sabha constituency Dr Jitendra Singh on Friday alleged that Basohli town in Jammu and Kashmir had been deliberately neglected by the Congress representatives, including its MLAs and MPs in the past.
Addressing a series of road side meetings and public rallies enroute from Kathua and culminating in Basohli, Dr Jitendra Singh said, Congress MLAs and MPs elected by the people of Basohli had occupied Ministerial berths for years together but instead of caring for their people, they followed the Kashmir-centric appeasement policy of their masters and thus themselves became a party to regional discrimination against the very constituency which had elected them.
Instead of being benefited by the MLAs or MPs who became Ministers in Congress governments, the people of Basohli had to pay the price for further worsening of their plight due to such opportunistic representatives, he added.
