JAMMU: Launching its membership drive with the slogan “Aayo Chalein Congress Ke Sath, Badlein Pradesh Ke Halaat”, JKPCC president Ghulam Ahmad Mir claimed that people want change, as BJP has failed on all fronts of governance especially unchecked price rise, record unemployment besides other anti-employees, anti-trade, anti- poor politics.

He said that Congress has been on fore front to oppose the anti- people policies being imposed on the people through back door by the bureaucrats Govt, as there is no elected Govt. in J&K for three and half years, now the people of different sections are being forced to swallow the bitter pills, as they have no representation or forum to raise their voice against the anti people policies of the BJP through bureaucratic system.
