"We have launched membership drive here in Jammu, aiming to enlist secular and youth member of the region into party fold", Afaq Ahmed, All India general secretary Janata Dal-United told reporters here.
"People are searching for an alternative of ruling PDP-BJP as both the parties compromised their core ideology and formed government only for chair while the main problems of people in Jammu as well as Kashmir remained unattended," he said.
State JD-U president G M Shaheen praised Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for banning alcohol in the state.
He said that liquor was responsible for many crimes and road accidents and following the example of Bihar, Jammu and Kashmir should also ban liquor in the state.
