He directed party leaders and workers to gear up for the upcoming DDC elections and propagate the message of party to nook and corner of south Kashmir.

BJP leader while hitting hard to territorial mainstream political parties including NC and PDP, said these parties have eroded the fair and transparency structure in employment across J&K.

“Today daily wagers and other consolidated employees are protesting against us. They are shouting anti-BJP slogans. I want to make them clear that during whose tenure their appointments were made.

It was NC, PDP, Congress and others who adjust them in government departments without following the set protocol of employment”, Koul said and added, “Instead of hitting streets or our headquarters, these employees should protest at the residence of Dr Farooq Abdullah and others”.
