SRINAGAR, Dec 1: Launching poll campaign from Chrar-e-Sharief, senior PDP leader and former Finance Minister, Tariq Hameed Karra asked people to remind NC of its electoral promises.
Terming the NC-Congress Coalition Government as the biggest misfortune for the State, he said the hapless people of the State have been subjected to worst form of misgovernance, anarchism, corruption and repression during the past five years of the present regime.
“Not only is the present Government most ineffective and incompetent, it is now turning out to be the State’s most scandalous regime ever,” Karra said while addressing a public rally here to formally launch his election campaign for the upcoming Parliamentary polls from the eternal abode of Alamdaar-e-Kashmir Sheikh-ul-Alam Sheikh Noor-ud-Din Wali (RA).
Karra, who has been nominated by the Opposition PDP as its candidate for the Central Kashmir Parliamentary constituency, said as the present regime is soon going to complete five years in power, its report card for this period is spotted with tyranny, oppression, misgovernance, scandals, nepotism, corruption and dysfunction.
Reminding the Chief Minister Omar Abdullah of the promises made by him with the people during 2008 Assembly elections, the PDP leader said, “where have the tall promises on Sadak, Paani, Bijli and Rozgar gone.”
The former Finance Minister said the State’s ruling political elite which is preoccupied with enjoying the luxuries of power while the Aam Aadmi is being subjected to all kinds of cruelties and miseries must remember that they have to go back to the same people to seek mandate again.
“The people are fed up with the insensitivity of this self-centered regime and they would respond appropriately to this feeling of utter neglect when the time comes,” he said.
