Gupkar alliance practising politics of destruction instead of development in J&K: Anurag Thakur
JAMMU: The Gupkar alliance is practising politics of destruction instead of development while the Narendra Modi government has taken Jammu and Kashmir on the path of progress, Union minister Anurag Thakur said on Thursday.
Speaking at a District Development Council (DDC) election rally in Kathua district, the BJP leader also attacked the National Conference (NC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which are part of the PAGD, saying they have deceived the people of the union territory.
Kathua is going to polls in the last phase of the DDC elections on December 19. The eight phase election which began on November 28 is being held along with bypolls to vacant panch and sarpanch constituencies in Jammu and Kashmir.
