Ruling coalition to be remembered as most anti-people regime: Mehbooba

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Apr 14: People’s Democratic Party (PDP) president, Mehbooba Mufti said instead of using derogatory language against its opponents National Conference should have come out with its performance report for their last 40 years in the Government.
Addressing a public meeting in Ramban, Mehbooba said till now NC was able to get away without offering an account of its performance and misdeeds in absence of a viable alternative but now with the emergence of PDP it can’t avoid presenting a report card and vision while seeking votes.
She said the ruling coalition will be remembered as the most anti-people regime in the history where people were even deprived of full ration to their families and they have been made to pay hefty amounts for non-existent power supplies.
“Using abusive language against PDP can’t stop NC regime’s downfall which is very imminent, though”, she said adding instead of providing good, corruption free governance to the people, the present Government was busy in looting the State to build huge assets within and outside the State.
NC is resorting to cheap tactics to divert attention from its failures, she said, adding that hundreds of retired officers were given extensions with huge salaries, while as highly qualified persons have to work on daily wages and without pension under the new recruitment policy.
She stated there is no count of scandals that have taken place during the present regime.
She said the cases like Haji Yousuf’s death and cricket scandal were hushed up which is in contrast to what is happening in rest of the country where high and might have lost their jobs and gone into jails but in J&K the Congress and NC have been protecting each other and covering up their misdeeds.
People of J&K are forced to agitate as they are left in no systematic options, she added.
