JAMMU, Feb 25: Holding ruling dispensation of PDP-BJP responsible for the “uncertainty” and “anguish” among the people in the State, former Minister and senior Congress leader Raman Bhalla today said the coalition partners after securing votes from the people have failed them on every count.
Interacting with people of Sanjay Nagar, Govind Nagar and Mohalla Jogian in Gandhi Nagar constituency today, Bhalla hit out at the Centre and the State Governments for “deteriorating situation in the State” and blamed them both for “failing to create an atmosphere of peace as a result of which the country and the State are passing though very crucial phase leading to the deep alienation among people.”
He said people are subjected to mental torture by the State Government in order to hide its failures. The PDP-BJP Government has miserably failed to deliver.  The misrule and mismanagement on their part has added to the woes of the people. Bhalla said all the promises made to the people by the PDP and the BJP after securing votes from them, have fallen flat.
“People have realized that they have been misled very badly on the AoA between PDP and BJP; unemployment has risen considerably; developmental process started by the UPA I & UPA II has come to standstill; lack of policy on the part of State Government has disturbed the socio political scenario of the State.”
Bhalla blamed the State Govt of adopting totally arbitrary attitude and pure favouritism on political considerations in the creation of the posts of ADCs in different areas, ignoring areas which were more deserving on all parameters and merit, which has resulted into unrest amongst people.
Congress leader lashed out at the PDP-BJP Government for adopting an arbitrary approach in total disregard to merit or criteria and without adopting any fair or transparent procedure or mechanism for the creation of these administrative units, which has caused large scale resentment and unrest in different parts like Nowshera and Sunderbani, while ADC has been setup at Koteranka, besides in Billawar and Basohli etc, which are represented by ministers in the Government.
