    Dilbagh Singh Thakur and others BJP workers of Kalakote Shows resentment to give Parachute mandate to Thakur Randhir Singh

    GNS ONLINE NEWS PORTAL

    JAMMU, SEPT 13:– Showing disappointment regarding the parachute candidate of Kalakote – Sunderbani BJP Thakur Randhir Singh, Dilbagh Singh Thakur has shown a strong resentment to give him a mandate.

    “Thakur Randhir Singh is a parachute leader who had worked for the National Conference for the last 40 years and later joined the BJP. I as a social & political activist have been actively working for BJP & RSS since 2006. Being a young lawyer, I defend BJP at every platform personal as well as professional platform in difficult areas,” he added.

    It’s shocking to know that fact that despite being BJP leadership awareness that Randhir Singh didn’t support BJP and even hesitated to national slogan in favour of Nation and community.

    He also harassed me and the whole family for many years & forced me to leave the BJP and nationalist forces by using the power of administration with false cases against me. But we did not resign from BJP due to the ideology of the BJP in my heart & blood. For the last 40 years Randhir Singh has restrained people across the section of society of KALAKOTE to not use any types of activity of BJP & RSS in KALAKOTE

    After becoming the MLA of his elder brother from NC in 2002 Randhir Singh and his associate goons started lynching, demographic invasion, exploiting, humiliating criminal conspiracy, grabbing GOVT. properties and land, man handling molestation and genocide to the people of KALAKOTE due to political interest and influence of MLA chair of his brother like TMC leaders in West Bengal.

    Dilbagh Singh said “I informed many times to the Jammu and Kashmir BJP party chief Ravinder Raina about this issue from the 5-6 years , but they didn’t address my concerns. They have now given the mandate to a person who was rejected by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2014, and this individual is currently the party’s candidate. How can we stand and support him in this election?”

    In 2014. Prime Minister Narinder Modi  Rajouri visited on 13-12-2014 in the public rally he asked the people to vote for the UP candidate A.G. Kohli from KALAKOTE constituency for making KALAKOTE as “HEAVEN from HELL” and dictatorship/Gundaism of the then NC leader Thakur Randir Singh and associated goons. election were held after 7 days on After the rally of PM  Modi  20-12-2014 Thakur Randhir Singh (the then NC leader now in BJP) and his associates goons not allowed to the family of A.G Kohli (EX MINISTER BJP) KALAKOTE to cast their vote in a good manners and even beaten up to the teen ager girl BJP polling agent and beaten/ molested her in the polling station FIR No 93-94 of 2014 and same day evening a mob of 1000 peoples headed by Thakur Randhir Singh than 40 years old NC leader now in BJP with sharp edge weapons and laathies and went to the house of private political advisor Ex Minister BJP who’s daughter was already beaten and molested in the polling station and the attacked him and damaged their properties like vehicles, grass/fodder and people badly badly injured and even then SP Nowshera Rakesh Bhagat Injured through stone pelting. It is very sorry to mentioned here after the Assembly election of 2014 1st time in the history we have the Govt. in centre, State and local area, Randhir Singh then NC leader and his associates goons have started harassed by lynching to the general voters of BJP and selectively targeting to the workers/leaders of BJP in KALAKOTE and badly beaten up to the old 20-30 years of workers/leaders of BJP, advisor of BJP, PRO of BJP MLA and deliberately attacked on son of BJP Minister namely Waseem Kohli and me when we moved to SSP Rajouri with a deputation of 200 peoples, but due to influence and gundaism of Thakur Randhir Singh, the SSP registered false FIR.
