"We demand that the resignation of the Deputy Chief Minister Nirmal Singh and Forest Minister Bali Bhagat for their failure to fulfill the commitment they had made with the people of Jammu in connection with the setting of AIIMS in Jammu," president of state wing of Mahila Congress Indu Pawar said.
While raising slogans against BJP-PDP coalition, the activists accused the government of "discrimination" with the people of Jammu region.
"All the policies of this government have proven to be anti Jammu and the BJP which once claimed to be the champion of the cause of the people of Jammu have stabbed the people in the back," Pawar said.
She said that after the AIIMS shifted to Kashmir from Jammu, the BJP had no "right to stay in power" with PDP as the party won 25 seats in the assembly elections on the promise of ending the "discrimination with the people of Jammu."

"Acche Din was a mirage that the saffron party used to befool the people of the country, the problems of the people has increased many folds and its only Bure Din (Bad Days) which the common people of the country and facing," the activist said.
