Waheed Ur Rehman Parra, PDP Youth President and Parliament candidate for the Srinagar-Pulwama-Ganderbal seat, is visiting different parts of Srinagar and Pulwama districts on Sunday as part of his poll campaign, speaking at several public events.
These sessions were held in various locations in the Habakadal, Pulwama, Pampore, and Rajpora constituencies.
During his trial campaign, Parra urged party workers to reach out to the people to strengthen the party and spread the vision of Party President Mehbooba Mufti.
He interacted with residents from far-flung areas of the Srinagar Parliament constituency and took stock of their problems, such as lack of electricity, water supply, and road connectivity.
During a public meeting in Pulwama, Parra said “If Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal could provide free electricity why can't we”?
He promised to provide free electricity in Jammu during summer and Kashmir during winter if elected.
He said, "The day our party forms its government in the upcoming elections, we will provide free electricity like it is being given in the National Capital, Delhi."
He assured that he would represent the aspirations of the people of Kashmir in Parliament if elected and pledged to address all student and Kashmir community issues promptly by liaising with the respective governments.
Highlighting that the people of Kashmir entrusted sitting and current parliament members from the Kashmir valley with their hopes in 2019, believing they would be steadfast advocates of their rights in Parliament, he expressed disappointment in their performance since August 5th, 2019.
"For God's sake, tell me, why should people vote for these MPs when they've mastered the art of parliamentary disappearing acts since August 5th, 2019?" Waheed asked.
Srinagar Lok Sabha constituency will go to polls in April this year. The date of voting is 26 April (Phase 2). Parra will be up against a strong candidate in Agha Syed Ruhullah Mehdi from the National Conference.
