JAMMU, Nov 30:
Seeking a decisive mandate from the electors of Jammu and Kashmir, Senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad today said the party-led Government has proven credentials of being the single most pro-development force in the state.
“We are seeking a decisive mandate from the people of the State. The Congress-led Government has proven credentials of being the single most pro-development force in the State while others have always believed in raising bogies of various hues and colours to play with the sentiments of the people on religious and regional lines,” Azad said.
He expressed his views while on campaign trial at the end of campaigning of the second phase of polls in Jammu and Kashmir.
Azad said it is the contribution of the Congress-led Government to create an urge and awakening about the concept of development which has compelled other parties to include development in their agenda.
“However, none of them have any proven credentials and a track record, as they have been getting votes merely by exploiting the people of the State on the basis of religion, region and hollow slogans,” the Congress leader said.
“Youth of the State want fast-paced growth, modern infrastructure and creation of employment opportunities, and political parties of the State are selling them catchy slogans, hollow promises, vision documents and utopian frameworks,” Azad said.
“I am presenting the performance and track record of two and half years allowing the people to draw their own conclusions,” he said.
Azad said the Congress-led Government has shown the way in the execution of mega projects like roads, hydro-power, colleges, schools and hospitals, in a time bound manner, in addition to providing an efficient, credible and pro-people governance to the state inspite of the hurdles created by alliance partners, and other anti-progress forces.
