Drama at Rahul Gandhi's sarpanch meet in Jammu

Jammu:  Pitching strongly for empowerment of Panchayati Raj institutions in Jammu and Kashmir, Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi today promised sarpanches that his party will fight for their rights and build pressure on the state



He said that he will keep building pressure till the issue is not resolved.

“...We want to give the same powers, strength to panches and sarpanhces in Jammu and Kashmir what we are providing to them in other states. If you go to Kerala, Tamil Nadu, you will find politics interesting there because the sarpanches have power there. The district plans are made, local participation happens, meetings are held and people's views come out.

“And this is the future of politics. This will also happen in Jammu and Kashmir. I want to assure you that in coming time, you will get the rights. As long as you don't get, I will keep coming here. I will keep building the pressure, till this is not resolved,” Gandhi said.  

Gandhi also briefly touched on the issue of refugees in the state.
