Also, since 2018, we have been facing the insensitivity of indirect BJP rule here.”
“These parties have constantly tried to divide the people on the name of religions and regions for their own political and electoral gains. Now, it is the responsibility of the people to send a clear message to these parties that enough is enough. The people should no longer fall prey to the deceptive politics of these parties and move towards a more inclusive and united future.” Bukhari added.
He appealed to the people to give his party a chance to implement its vision for a better future in Jammu and Kashmir by granting the party an absolute majority in the upcoming assembly elections. He said, “Apni Party has a well-defined vision and agenda for the development of Jammu and Kashmir and the prosperity of its people.

People have placed their trust in our unambiguous agenda, which aims to work towards peace, prosperity, and development in Jammu and Kashmir, and empower its people politically and economically.”
Manjit Singh while addressing the gathering urged party workers to enhance their political activities and public outreach in order to remain in touch with the masses at the grassroots level.
