UDHAMPUR, Mar 11: MLA Udhampur, Pawan Gupta, today highlighted the developmental works initiated by him in Udhampur constituency and took to task the PDP-BJP Coalition Government for failure on all fronts.
He further divulged that the people of Jammu region had invested great hopes from BJP which came to power first time in history of the State but astonishingly the saffron party surrendered to PDP despite having huge mandate.
The MLA was addressing the workers’ Conference at Nand Palace, here today. He said that the present BJP-PDP regime has discriminated the people of Jammu region in equitable distribution of Central funds, selections made by the J&K Public Service Commission and Service Selection Board and appointment of SPOs.
Pawan astonished that the State Government with the consent of the Central Government is providing Government jobs and Rs 5 lakh to next of kin of the slain stone pelters putting premium on insurgency.
He said that the tame surrender of the BJP to the pro separatist PDP discerns from the fact that PDP has succeeded in getting the stone pelters released whereas false cases registered against the nationalist agitators of Amar Nath land row from Jammu have not been withdrawn despite express agreement made between the Amar Nath land row agitators and the Governor.
He lamented that the BJP has failed to fulfill the promise of constituting a delimitation commission to provide adequate and fair representation to Jammu region and also failed to fulfill the promise of establishing of Sainik Colony and Kashmiri Pandit Colony in Kashmir Valley.
