Handwara. The LCDI was a call of marginalized population of Langate Constituency to seek political empowerment, social justice, economic self-reliance, participant governance, and inclusive development. It was the aspiration of violence hit youths to dream an end to decades long process of political subjugation by non-resident, parchuted political elite centred in towns and cities. They took Langate constituency as a colony that was destined to be robbed of genuine political representation. The recent Delimitation exercise added some more areas of Magam, Kandi to Langate Constituency. These newly added areas share a history of being plundered and exploited like us. Their significance, like ours, lied in providing huge chunks of voting population and political mobilization. They were kept poor and ‘backward’ like ours Qaziabad and Langate-Pohrupeth-Mawer segments.
Now is the time that these previously marginalized ‘rural’ pockets make a resolve to shun their peripheral status and join hands to extend political representation in these dispossessed areas.
The LCDI seeks support and encouragement of aspiring youth of areas in order to defeat entrenched political elitism and exclusion of natives from power.
