Confident NC will get decisive mandate in J&K: Rana

Ruling National Conference today exuded confidence that people will stamp out deceptive elements and give decisive mandate to the party to bring in a new era of peace and development.
Addressing a public meeting in village Guloota of Poonch district, party's provincial president Devender Singh Rana said it will be people of Jammu and Kashmir who will decide the contours of the government.
"The contours of the government will be decided by the people of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh and not by New Delhi," he said.
Winding up a week-long tour of the Poonch district along with senior party leaders, Rana said those believing in power flowing from the above were undermining the political sagacity of people and disrespecting their self esteem.

Recalling Sher-e-Kashmir Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah's immense faith in the people of Jammu and Kashmir, Rana said his belief that people were the real fountain head of power will always remain guiding principle for the party.
Rana said NC had played an unblemished role in public service in past seven decades and said that the party had never compromised with the interests of people or played with their sentiments.
"We place people and the state above everything else", he said.
