BEERWA (Budgam), Nov 29: Ridiculing Omar Abdullah’s claim that he would develop Beerwa as a model constituency, PDP president, Mehbooba Mufti today questioned that how can someone who could do nothing for his constituency as Chief Minister for six years be useful as a mere MLA in another constituency.
Addressing road-shows here, Mehbooba said Omar Abdullah is now so much panicked by the prospects of a PDP Government taking shape in J&K that he is once again seeking refuge in the lap of BJP by offering to align with them in any post-poll arrangement.
Reminding Omar Abdullah of the promises made by him during electioneering to 2008 Assembly polls, Mehbooba said the people want to know where is the much-parroted Truth and Reconciliation Commission on human rights violations, where have the one lakh jobs that were to be given in the first three months of the new Government gone, what happened to the promise of one job to each family, where is the stipend for the educated unemployed youth, what happened to the commitment of bringing down educational qualification for recruitment of police constables to middle pass and last but not least there is also no word from Omar about removing the electricity meters, slashing the power tariff, making electricity available round-the-clock and subsidizing the LPG and rations.
Mehbooba said on the contrary, during NC-Congress regime innocent killings became order of the day, power position deteriorated to the worst levels ever, drinking water became scarce, treasuries are running dry, pensioners are being denied pension, contractors are crying for payments, daily-wagers and consolidated workers plead for their wages, people are being kept hostage on roads for hours together due to horrific traffic jams and so on and so forth. “I challenge Omar Abdullah to show one single project anywhere in the State which he can claim was pioneered and accomplished by his Government during the past more than 6 years,” she said.
“No wonder after having destroyed not just Ganderbal, but the entire State, Omar had to run away in pursuit of a safe place,” she said and added that either Omar is considering himself too clever or is treating the people of Beerwa or Sonawar as too naïve to endorse a failed politician like him and waste their vote.
PDP candidate for Beerwa Assembly segment Dr Shafi also addressed the road-shows.
