JAMMU, Jan 3: Additional general secretary of National Conference and former Minister Ajay Kumar Sadhotra has alleged that the development works started during the National Conference period in the erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir State have been brought to a standstill under the incumbent Government and the overall developmental scenario existing today is highly deplorable.
He expressed this while addressing a meeting of NC functionaries of district Udhampur Urban at party office Jammu. The meeting began with the NC district president for Udhampur, Urban Sunil Verma apprising the senior functionaries of party about the problems being faced by people of the area.
Sadhotra observed that the development works started during the National Conference governance in the Jammu and Kashmir have been brought to a standstill under the incumbent Government. The overall development scenario existing today is hopeless and the progress on the so called prestigious projects like the much hyped Devika project is quite clumsy and still far from completion.
The NC leader said that the Union Territory administration has been clamouring a lot about its industrial policy bringing a paradigm transformation in industrial sector thus giving a push to economy and employment to just create a false narrative. However, the fact remains that majority of industries in J&K especially in Udhampur are at the verge of closure, while many industries stand already closed. He said that the road project from Ramnagar to Basantgarh continues to be in doldrums with its completion nowhere in sight.
He said the Health Centres are running without doctors especially in rural and far flung areas, The condition of ration supplies and electricity is also worst. He asserted that the incumbent Govt in J&K exemplifies the worst form of governance leaving the people to the mercy of God.
Rattan Lal Gupta, Provincial president accused the Govt of depriving the people of J&K of fundamental rights by not holding ULB, Panchayat and Assembly polls. Reacting to JP Nadda’s visit to Jammu on Jan 7, Rattan Lal mocked the BJP National president for confining his visit to Lok Sabha polls while maintaining a criminal silence on holding ULB, Panchayat and Assembly polls which are already due.
He claimed that BJP is not in a condition to contest Assembly polls. He accused the BJP of depriving the people in J&K of their fundamental rights by not holding the elections.
Senior leaders Abdul Gani Malik, Sheikh Bashir Ahmed, Ayub Malik, Vijay Lochan, Abdul Gani Teli, Satwant Kour Dogra, Rakesh Singh and Capt Pavitar Singh were also present.
