Srinagar, Sep 25: In the second phase of assembly elections, electorates at Fakir Gujri Wednesday expressed their resentment against the previous governments saying it has done nothing good for the welfare of the area.
The locals said that the ministers during the political rallies claim and promise many things to voters but later evade and fail them.
Speaking to the news agency, one of the voters, Abdul Rashid said he was optimistic for a change this time as he sees the elections more serious than previously.
The 67-year-old Rashid said, “It is after ten years the votes are being casted, otherwise, the previous representatives did nothing for us.”
He said, “They come only during voting, Keeping in view their previous promises, ideally we shouldn’t have any expectations, but on the other side we see the elections going seriously as compared to the previous elections.”
Rashid said that he has never missed the voting throughout his life and has been casting his vote for more than 35 years.
Another voter at Fakir Gujri Muhammad Yaseen Famra said that he has casted vote four times so far.
The 45-year-year old Famra said that they are voting to elect their representative, who will listen to them especially regarding the electricity and water issues.
He said that the community have been neglected for the past ten years.
“At Fakir Gujri, we are facing many problems and I have convinced my eight members to cast their ballots for a positive outcome,” he said.
