Senior Congress leader Ambika Soni said today that widespread resentment against the NDA government prevailed across the country and appealed to her party workers to work together to expose the failures of the present ruling dispensation.
Soni, the All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary in charge of party affairs in Jammu and Kashmir, arrived here on a two-day visit to take stock of organisation and held a series of meetings with party leaders including state unit president G A Mir.
Large-scale resentment prevails in the state (J&K) and the country because of the failures of the Centre and the state government. Congress cadre should work together to grab the opportunity and come up to the exception of the people, she said.
She will visit Srinagar tomorrow to take stock of organisational affairs of Kashmir division, state Congress chief spokesperson Ravinder Sharma said.
Describing party workers as the backbone and delegates and block presidents as pillars of the party, Soni asked them to strengthen the party and expose the alleged failures of the central and state governments.
