JAMMU, June 22: Accusing the PDP-BJP Government of “failing” on all fronts, the Pradesh Congress Committee president G A Mir today said that it may “collapse” any time soon.
Speaking to the media-persons at the sidelines of Congress Executive Committee meeting of Jammu province here today, the PCC chief said, “Where is the Government, it does not exist anywhere. It is the coalition between few people who joined hands for the lust of power. Though we want this Government to complete its tenure, but it will collapse at any time,” Mr Mir maintained.
The PCC chief said that PDP and BJP which had made several promises to the people of the State before coming to power, have been exposed. They have set aside their promises for the sake of power.
“They have failed to fulfill even a single promise they had made with the people. They are more embroiled in controversies, rather than focusing on providing governance to the people,” he added.
Mir further said that the State and the Central Government had failed to address the issues of the people who lost everything in last year’s devastating floods.
“Compare what the UPA Government gave to the victims in Uttrakhand and the earthquake victims of Kashmir, but this Government has rubbed salt on the wounds of the flood victims,” Mir said.
While referring to the meager relief of Rs 37 given to the farmers in Jammu areas, the PCC chief said that the relief has exposed the Government and the people of the State were fed up with the hollow promises of it.
Earlier, addressing Congress executive, the PCC chief termed the present PDP-BJP Govt as a directionless. He alleged that an atmosphere of total chaos, confusion and uncertainty prevails in the State due to the wrong policies of the State and the Central Government.
Mir said the State Government has miserably failed on all fronts and its over 100 days in office has only given rise to a situation of uncertainty, chaos and confusion because the present unholy coalition lacks direction in the absence of any common point in their respective agendas. He criticized the Modi Govt for its denial of rehabilitation package for the flood and rain affected people.
PCC Chief referred to the struggle for AIIMS in Jammu and said that party would continue its struggle till the demand of people is fulfilled. He conveyed his gratitude to the Central leadership of the party and also senior leaders of the State for their cooperation and whole hearted support to further strengthen the party.
Earlier, PCC senior vice president Sham Lal Sharma gave a detailed account of ongoing membership drive in each block of Jammu province and expressed satisfaction over the interest shown by the workers and the people as a result there is tremendous response to the Congress membership drive.
A resolution was adopted in the meeting after deliberations over the latest political and security scenario in the State and the various issues confronting different sections of the society. Former MP and Senior Congress leader Madan Lal Sharma and former Deputy Chief Minister Tara Chand spoke on the various issues in the resolution which was moved by chief spokesperson Ravinder Sharma.
