JAMMU, July 11: Voicing concern over halt in the developmental activities in many areas of Jammu West constituency resulting into problems to the people, former Union Minister and MLA West, Prof Chaman Lal Gupta alleged that the ruling leaders were adopting not only the regional bias but even resorting to discriminatory approach within regions and constituencies.
Commenting upon the media reports regarding little developmental activities and poor sanitation conditions, Prof Gupta said that the ruling leaders on the ground are hell-bent to play the wrongs.
Referring to the problems of his Jammu West Assembly Constituency, he pointed out that even the approved projects pertaining to congestion and that of traffic as also the sanitation and pollution, have been put under carpet. These also include the building of flyovers, widening of roads, construction of drains etc which are glaring examples to substantiate the charge, he added and further said that all these issues were even raised in the Assembly and Board Meetings.
Prof Gupta also pointed out that the ruling leaders did not keep up the promise of holding the civic elections which were due since April, 2010. In the absence of elected bodies the sanitation conditions are worsening but it was unfortunate that the Government leaders have gone mum to their commitments for empowerment of the basic democracies.
He asked the activists to list the basic problems like that of electricity, water, paucity of rations and others so that these are again and again ventilated at proper fora.
He warned the ruling leaders to see the writing on the wall as the time of accountability is not far off.
