SRINAGAR, Apr 7: Maintaining that the Government has ushered an era of peace, progress and development in the State, Minister for Rural Development and Panchayats and senior National Conference leader Ali Mohammad Sagar today said that PDP in a state of despair and desperation is trying to mislead the people by spreading false propaganda for their ulterior political motives but the people of the state are well aware of the fact that these forces have always preferred their interests over those of state and have been responsible for inflicting miseries on them.
Mr. Sagar was addressing a series of public rallies and road shows in Pulwama District,the areas included Niloora, Zadura,Wanibugh, chukalan, Gous, Garasipora,Rohmu, Arichakh, Sangwani, Dangerpora, Shadimarg, Zandipora, Drabhgam, Rohmu, Awali holla, Aachkura, Nichan and Sangarwani. These were attended in large numbers by people despite heavy rains.
While referring to the innumerable achievements registered by the Government in various spheres of life, Mr. Sagar said that growing popularity of the present coalition has induced sense of desperation and frustration in the cadres of PDP, which has triggered a panic reaction in them and they have started spreading lies and false propaganda.
He said that the people of the state are wise enough to understand their mechanisations and would give befitting reply to them, which will serve as a lesson to these forces of chaos and confusion. “The leaders of the PDP are known for their dubious role in the political circles of the state as they can go to any extent to further their lust for power and propagate their personal clouts”, he added.
Mr. Sagar further maintained that the NC has always projected and safeguarded the interests of the state and its people without caring for political gains. ” It is a recorded history that when it comes to the state, NC has rendered innumerable sacrifices and people are well aware of it and the measures taken for the socio-economic upliftment, decentralisation of powers to the grass root level have been instrumental in ensuring phenomenal and appreciable changes in the rural landscape in particular and state as a whole, which include providing employment to them at their doorsteps and involving people at the grass root level in day to day governance”, he added.
Referring to the recent statements of the PDP, Mr. Sagar said that these reflect their desperation as they were desperately trying to woo Congress for entering into alliance with them but on being snubbed have resorted to cover their failures by targeting National Conference. He said that PDP believes in divisive and negative politics replete with hypocrisy which is evident by the statements of its leaders as well.
