JAMMU, Aug 14: Former MLC and National Conference (NC) State Secretary, Rattan Lal Gupta today expressed concern over governance deficit in J&K saying aspirations of the people have been trampled by the bureaucracy.
“Invisibility of the governance has ironically been acknowledged by J&K BJP as well, which has publicly castigated the bureaucratic set up,” Gupta said in a statement, adding that lack of vision in present dispensation has created chaotic situation which is evident from anti-youth policies like disengaging self help groups of engineers and waxed problems being faced by all segments of the society.
Gupta said that BJP’s public admission of non-governance is ironic as it is remotely controlling the government.
“Therefore the failure of the government is failure of BJP which has brought the situation in Jammu and Kashmir to morass and there seems little hope in its getting back on the tracks again,” he claimed.
He said while development remains a far cry, the utility services are almost dysfunctional, as a result of which the people are suffering on all fronts.
Referring to the issues faced by the youth, the NC leader said, while educated unemployed stand pushed to the wall, those struggling to stand up are being disempowered.
In this context, he made a mention of the disengaged self-help group engineers and said, on one side the administration is unable to provide them jobs while on the other hand they are being disengaged.
“Same is the scenario with daily rated workers and other categories of casual workers, who have been struggling for regularization,” he said adding that the government has failed in doing justice with such workers.
