CHENANI, Jan 19: Harsh Dev Singh, former Minister and Chairman Aam Aadmi Party J&K State Co-ordination Committee, has alleged that BJP Government was testing patience of J&K people.
Addressing public meetings at Thani Dhar and Chunti in Chenani constituency, he said that with the erstwhile historical State of J&K having been dismantled and downgraded to UT level and divesting the people of their marginal land holdings, opening the lands and jobs of its locals to outsiders, suppressing all critical voices through the coercive apparatus of the Govt, demolishing institutions, denying legitimate elected Govt and running the affairs of State for the last over four years through proxy, the BJP regime appeared to be testing the patience of the people of J&K.
“New laws are being enacted for J&K on a regular basis by ‘babus’ in the Centre and implemented in J&K without any Legislative nod while the people are being subjected to the most unpopular rule of outside bureaucrats who lack even the basic knowledge of the problems of the common masses and have hardly any connect with the people,” he said and alleged that BJP -led Centre continued to use J&K as a workshop holding newer experiments each day deliriously unmindful of the abyss to which it had thrown the people of the new UT.
Harsh Dev Singh claimed that under the prevailing circumstances, it was AAP alone which was emerging as a ray of hope for J&K people.
“With no takers for the woes and sufferings of the people, the Govt is thriving on fake announcements and fictional accounts of its achievements with nothing tangible to be seen on the ground. People suffer the worst nightmares due to the power and water crisis. The daily rated workers of PHE, PWD, Power, I&FC are without wages for several months with none to pay attention to their pathetic plight. The unemployed educated youth were on the roads. The MGNREGA liability has exceeded one thousands crore during the last 5-6 years but none in the Govt is there to even console the poor labourers. The corruption has become all pervasive with none to question those indulging in open loot and plunder of the states’ resources. And those who have the temerity to question are dubbed as anti-nationals,” he said.
