SRINAGAR, May 16: Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed instead of selling dreams should concentrate on governance and should try to rehabilitate the flood victims, release the salaries of employees, speed up the process of recruitment, address the issues of farmers and fruit growers and root out corruption from the administration, if he can.
This was stated by senior CPI (M) leader and MLA Kulgam, MY Tarigami in a statement issued.
He expressed surprise at the latest assertion of Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed regarding the BJP- PDP ties. He said, at the outset, Chief Minister described the coalition as a compulsion and made it clear that he will in no way compromise with his political ideology, which he claims is based on self rule, financial autonomy, return of centre owned power projects to the State, reviving of Indo-Pak dialogue on Kashmir and framing a joint legislature of the divided State and repealing of AFSPA. Since BJP did not agree even to the withdrawal of AFSPA, PDP played the developmental and rehabilitation card. PDP made the Kashmiri people believe that by aligning with BJP the State Government will receive unlimited funds which would be used for the rehabilitation of flood victims, general re-construction and massive development of the State, he added.
Now that the State has not received even normal funds so far and not a straw could be removed in the name of rehabilitation, what is the justification of this unprincipled alliance? Tarigami asked and said that even the release of one political prisoner was undone at the behest of BJP.
He stated that the two parties could not also agree on the mode of the rehabilitation of Kashmiri migrants.
