JAMMU, Mar 27: Minister of State for Education, Technical Education, Culture, Tourism, Department of Horticulture, Floriculture and Parks, Priya Sethi today came down heavily on Congress for launching false and frivolous campaign against BJP-PDP Coalition Government in the State. She said that many former Congress ministers who looted State exchequer and created liabilities worth crores of rupees in various departments are being vocal to gain some foothold.
Priya Sethi was speaking after starting development works worth Rs 10 lakh in Ward Number 2 of Jammu East constituency. She said having lost ground and facing cases of corruption in State Accountability Commission (SAC), Congress leaders are trying to portray themselves as people’s sympathisers. They are virtually on their knees begging little support from people whom they had cheated and looted during their tenure. Those who got kickbacks even in development works but did nothing substantial during their tenure are today making futile efforts to gather crowds on Jammu streets.
She alleged that these very corrupt Congress leaders who don’t have any face now destroyed State’s economy, stagnated development, destroyed departments for their vested interests, encouraged nepotism, created liabilities, violated codes, created mess and built their personal empires. They are now roaming in streets to prove their worth which they have already lost. This effort, she added is too little and too late. People have understood their gimmicks and are not going to get swayed away with such tactics now.
The present Government, Priya Sethi said is functioning according to wishes and wills of people. A clean and transparent Government led by Chief Minister, Mehbooba Mufti has not only restored faith of people in the system of governance but also given sleepless nights to Congress leaders who did nothing for people. They have lost opportunity and now people’s mandate is against them, she said adding that liberal funding from Centre is going to develop all three regions of J&K State equally, now.
She started construction of lane and drain near house of Darbari Lal and Rajinder Raji on back side of Rani Kalori Mandir, Jullakha Mohalla and repair of drain near house of Dubey at Ward No.2. Construction of shed at Shani Mandir near Mishra house opposite Rani Kalori Mandir, Jullakha Mohalla and upgradation of lane near Kothi Sheikh Amin at Jullaka Mohalla Ward No.2. These works woth Rs 10 lakh were all started and departments asked to complete the same in time bound manner.
MLA East Rajesh Gupta and State vice president BJP Yudhvir Sethi were also present on the occasion.
