DOORU, July 29: Asserting that Jammu and Kashmir was the victim of wrong policies of Centre and previous PDP -BJP Govt in the State which came into the existence after betraying people for votes, the J&K Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) president, GA Mir lashed out at Central Govt over being insensitive towards the agony of the people.
Addressing public meetings at various places in Shahbad Balla in Dooru- Verinag today, Mir appealed the people to rise to the occasion to strengthen the Congress party for their better future. He said State was the worst hit due to the wrong policies adopted by the Centre Govt, stating that Centre was just doing lip services to people of Jammu and Kashmir.
PCC president said that people were feeling that Centre wants to continue to rule the State through Raj Bhawan and take some important policy decisions in absence of the State Legislature, urging upon the Center Govt to clear the doubts, brewing in the hearts and minds of people.
“On one hand, Narendra Modi Govt was claiming that it would address the developmental issues confronting state, on war footing basis, but on the other hand it’s approach towards the State was very unfortunate, people were being denied their right to elect their representatives by way of elections, which is not only unfortunate but very serious rather anguishing for the people of JK.
Mir urged the Centre Govt to restore the confidence of the people and ensure that elections to State Legislative Assembly were held in order to give the people their own Govt, which could listen & address their issues without running from pillar to post.
Referring to the local problems of the people in Kapran- Dooru and other far flung areas in State, Mir said people in Shahabad Balla Panchayat Halqas were being forced to pay 350 as electric fee some have been asked to pay Rs 535, which is unaffordable and beyond their financial limits, earlier these poor people having been paying Rs 108 per month as electric fees, now they have to pay Rs 350 and Rs 535 against using on bulb in their homes, which will be distressing for them.
He also urged upon the Govt to start SRTC bus service from Kapran Dooru to Anantnag to ensure hassle-free movement of common and poor people.
PCC chief also demanded road connectivity in Kapran -Verinag and said the Kapran Verinag Road Project which could have ensured great respite to local population, has been left half-way for unknown reasons and demanded that the project must be complete in the larger interest of people.
Senor party leaders, Block presidents, DCC, PCC members, Youth leaders of Dooru also addressed the gatherings.
