There is organized loot of the resources of J&K. There is no job security and the lands of the local people are being snatched.
Lal Singh claimed that in organized manner, the youth from other States are being appointed in various Government Departments and banks, depriving the local educated youth of their legitimate right. He said they have done enough excesses in J&K after abrogation of Article 370 making false promises and now the people will turn the table. The people at the helm of affairs responsible for their miseries, will be thrown out by the angry people this time. He sought the support of the people for winning Kathua-Udhampur-Doda seat.

He expressed anguish on the total neglect of Billawar constituency where not a single project has been implemented. He further said that the attitude of the present MP has been so rude and arrogant that it remained a dream for everyone to have access to his office. He appealed to all his workers to give massive support to Ch Lal Singh and ensure his victory to end the sufferings which they have been facing till now. Many Sarpanches, Panches and local leaders joined Congress and extended full support to him. Later, Ch Lal Singh left for the shrine of Mata Sukrala Devi to seek her blessings.
