Speaking at the rally  Solanki made it clear that people of India is going to make the INDIA  block win in the upcoming elections. Talking about the party’s slogan ‘Judega Bharat, Jeetega India’, Solanki said that our countrymen are upset with the policies and working style of the Bharatiya Janata Party in the last ten years and this is the reason why today the India Alliance is getting support from the entire country. Referring to the Bharat Jodo Nyaya Yatra of former party president and firebrand leader Rahul Gandhi, he said that when Rahul ji had covered thousands of miles on foot from Kanyakumari to Kashmir to connect India, the whole India accompanied him. And now that the Nyaya Yatra has started afresh from a state like Manipur, once again the country is travelling this journey on foot with Rahul ji. Taking a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s mysterious silence on Manipur for almost three months, Solanki said that today the oppressed and downtrodden people of this country expect justice only from Congress. He termed the Modi government’s decision of waiving off billions of rupees of capitalists as serious issue and said that on one hand the poor of this country are getting poorer and on the other hand, Modi ji’s friends like Ambani and Adani are becoming the world’s biggest businessmen overnight. Pointing towards inflation, unemployment, statehood, drug addiction, illegal mining and liquor mafia, he said that Modi government has given nothing but hatred and lies to this country in the last ten years. 

In his address, State President Vikar Rasool Wani alleged that today the people of Jammu have not achieved anything except corruption, drug addiction and large scale unemployment. 

Talking about the state coming number one in terms of unemployment and India’s name coming after Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal in the Global Hunger Index, Vikar said that the days of those doing politics in the name of religion are over.  Vikar made it clear that religion and politics are two completely different dimensions and people now fully understand the bad politics of dividing the country in the name of religion only. Asserting that the victory of the India Alliance in the upcoming elections was certain, he said that the BJP had been wiped out in the Kargil Hill Council elections held just two months ago and this is the reason that today even after a gap of ten years, the state has no assembly elections at all. Talking about the cancellation of Municipal corporation elections and the end of the tenure of Panchayat representatives, he said that now only DDCs are left in the name of public representatives in the UT, whereas both the MPs of Jammu have failed to come upto the public expectations. 

Party’s working president Raman Bhalla, said that today such a huge network of factories is standing in Samba, it is the contribution of Congress only. Referring to all the big projects going on in the state, he said that in reality most of the projects were started during the tenure of Manmohan Singh’s government but BJP has no match in taking false credit. 

Talking about the package of Rs 30 lakh  to the displaced people during the Congress government, Bhalla said that BJP closed the files by giving only Rs 5.5 lakh whereas the displaced people who came to India after seeing the bloody struggle of displacement, deserved much more than this.

. Former Deputy Chief Minister Tara Chand, in his address reminded that Samba is a district becoz of Congress & referred to  many big recruitment during  the UT. 

Pointing towards the alleged fraud of  crores  in the Jal Shakti Department, he said that the people of the state got nothing but deception. Talking about the abrogation of Article 370, he said that the rights that our people had to land and jobs were forcibly abolished. While demanding statehood, Tara Chand said that the Home Minister had promised to give back the statehood while standing in the Parliament of the country, which has not been fulfilled yet.

 Yash pal kundal said that time has come for the public to bring down the arrogance of the BJP. Accusing the central government of using the state as a laboratory, he said that more than 1.5 lakh temporary and contractual employees have been protesting for decades with their just demands, but this dumb and deaf government has fallen on deaf eat. 

 He clarified that now the voice has started rising from every nook and corner that Congress has to be brought back and in such a situation, it is the responsibility of all the party workers to go among the people and inform them about the failed policies of the Modi government.

DCC President Sanjeev Sharma told the people that today every person, from the common daily wage earner to the small shopkeeper, is in trouble and the bureaucracy sitting in the government is not ready to take care of them. Several prominent persons joined Congress on occasion.
