JAMMU, Sept 13: Former minister and District Congress president Kathua, Dr Manohar Lal Sharma has said the ensuing state of instability and chaos in J&K was a matter of serious concern, which if not taken seriously could prove disastrous.
Addressing prominent persons of village, Lakhri, Mandli and Ramkote besides participating in Dangal at Matterar near Najot village of Billawar constituency, Sharma said that governance instability, policy inconsistency and the deteriorating law and order situation in the state were reminders of “how the slogan of ‘change” raised by the ousted ruling alliance had proven to be a hoax.
Dr Manohar Lal Sharma said the self-centric attitude of the two parties made general public to suffer for three years for basic necessities like power, water and ration as their singular agenda was to remaining in power. He said the non-operational and morally wrong alliance has left a lesson for the people to take their decisions with caution and wisdom for which the people of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh are known.
He said that PDP-BJP Government remained fully unaware of hardships of weaker sections of the society and did not make any efforts to mitigate the same on priority basis. He appealed party workers and general public to expose BJP and Modi Govt.
Sharma alleged that since the change of guard happened in New Delhi, the prices of essential commodities have increased manifold.”The prices of pulses have increased and it has become difficult for not only the poor but also the middle class to afford pulses. The ever increasing inflation is taking a toll on the common masses of this country,” he added.
Describing the foot- soldiers as backbone of Congress, Dr Sharma asked them to work unitedly and maintain discipline. He asked the workers to gear up for the upcoming elections to ULB and Panchayats as well future challenges.
