JAMMU, Sept 21: Intensifying mass-resistance against the ‘anti-people policies’ of PDP-BJP combine in the State, former Minister and senior Congress leader Raman Bhalla today said that protests against Govt on daily basis is reflection of the disenchantment over abject collapse of administrative structure and verdict against the irresponsible and insensitive Government.
Interacting with the aggrieved people of Chatha Farm, former Minister held the present Government squarely responsible for creating mess in after taking over the reins of administration and putting the State virtually at the brink of collapse. The programme was organized by Block president and Sarpanch Amrit Bali.
Advising the Government to perform or perish, Bhalla said the public patience and resilience should not be taken for granted. “What looks a subtle resistance this time can burst into volcano if the Government goes ahead with its dangerous policies of antagonizing youth, putting brakes on development, showing scant concern towards normal functioning of the utility services and vitiating the atmosphere”, he maintained.
Bhalla dwelt on the problems faced by the people with special reference to those living in the Jammu region. He said the power and water supply is erratic while the condition of roads has become vulnerable due to negligence thus putting the lives of pedestrians and commuters to grave risk. There is no semblance of the Government as demoralized, defunct and rudderless administration putting an unsuccessful front to meet the aspirations of the people.
Hitting out at PDP-BJP Government for unleashing a nightmarish era in Jammu and Kashmir due to inept policies and administrative inexperience, Bhalla said that situation is so dicey that the people across the State were finding themselves trapped in a dark tunnel with seemingly no way-out in sight. The mess created by the insensitive and inefficient coalition has manifested in worst-ever crisis in Kashmir and total administrative failure in the Jammu Division.
Bhalla further said the benefits of various schemes were accruing to chosen few with poor of the poorest finding himself in lurch. He referred to provision of rations under CAPD and said that the Below Poverty Line rationees were running helter skelter, the creamy layer, especially the supporters of the ruling alliance, were being given subsidised rations. He alleged bungling in preparation of ration cards and demanded end to ‘pick and choose’ mechanism on political affiliations.
