JAMMU, Dec 9: National Conference criticized PDP-BJP Government for putting Jammu & Kashmir into a quagmire of uncertainty and helplessness.
“The current situation in Kashmir is unprecedented. All across the Valley, there is absolute chaos as far as power scenario is concerned. Power supply to villages and towns of Kashmir has become pathetically dismal with some areas getting a mere four hours of electric supply for a day. Many areas are bereft from safe drinking water,” said NC general secretary Ali Mohd Sagar while addressing people who were protesting against governments’ lackluster attitude towards basic needs in Ganderbal today.
He said Jammu and Kashmir was undergoing through a nightmarish phase with development taking a back seat. “All the promises made by Mufti Mohammed Sayed have proven to be just eyewash. In the name of development, the present coalition is trying to take credit for all the work including commissioning of power projects, opening of new bridges, roads and other infrastructure that was conceptualized, and completed by Omar Abdullah led government,” Sagar said while reminding PDP of its promise of bringing power projects back from NHPC.
“We are in the tenth month of Mufti-led Government and still nothing much is being done to address thousands of flood victims who are now going to face another harsh Winter in makeshift shelters with no government compensation and relief. This, to say the least, is disappointing considering how PDP built its election campaign on the premise of providing ample relief to all the affected. Even in the 80,000 crore Central Package, there is barely anything at all for the flood victims in terms of compensation and relief that would enable them to rebuild their homes and re-establish their sources of livelihood”, Sagar who was accompanied by MLA Ganderbal Sheikh Ishfaq Jabbar, said.
“The anti-people coalition government believes in only rhetoric. The tourism industry is in complete shambles while Mufti Sayed goes around Bollywood to woo filmmakers when nothing much is being done on ground to facilitate their work here. They just believe in building fake political discourse just to take people’s attention away from real issues. Tourism advisory board that has just been constituted has failed to take off,” Sagar said.
