CHENANI (Udhampur), Jan 4: Pradesh Congress Committee chief Ghulam Ahmed Mir has said that PDP-BJP Government has lost the trust of the people, in a short span of 10 months, because of utter failure of the `coalition to fulfill their ‘tall claims’ during elections and their ‘opportunist’ and ‘contradictory’ stand on every important issue.
Addressing a large public gathering at Chenani here today, PCC chief said that the present coalition partners have failed to respect their respective mandate of the people as they made a complete U-turn on their propagated policies and ideologies, for the sake of sharing power which has exposed the double standards of two parties. The people saw historical betrayal of mandate by the two parties, which always stood as extreme opposite forces, as far as their approach to all core issues in the State is concerned.
But their sudden shift and surrender dismayed and disappointed their respective electorate besides exposing their hollow and false commitment to their slogans always used by them to hoodwink the people. The explanation offered by both parties to join power can no longer befool people who are wise enough to understand their lust for power.
PCC president said that the governance failures is observed in almost every field. The Government has failed deliver in terms of ration and power supply, health, education sector & unemployment besides rehabilitation of flood affected people and the farmers. The employees of different categories including teachers, daily wagers, casual and need based workers and other such categories of people are regularly seen on protests for their just and genuine demands. This kind of situation has disappointed every common man who is already facing the brunt of ‘Achhe Din’ promise of Modi Government, as the prices of all essential commodities and items of daily use have increased manifold.
On the issue of internal security, Mir expressed serious concern in the wake of terrorist attack at Pathankote where seven security personal have laid down their lives and over two dozen are injured to counter the terror attack. Paying rich tributes to the brave soldiers, Mir said that the attack has raised serious concern vis-a-vis internal security and its handling by the Modi Government.
Senior vice president Sham Lal Sharma questioned the BJP for its failure to address the aspirations of people of Jammu region, as the party always accused the State and Central Governments for not giving the due treatment to Jammu. Now, when they (BJP) are in power, they feel that Jammu region has got its due in every sphere. They should fulfill the slogans, they used to raise, while in opposition. Their silence on all important issues of Jammu region speaks of their total surrender for power. The people seek answer from BJP, while the PDP has also shown a complete lust for power, when it joined hands with BJP.
Senior leaders Kanta Bhan, Krishan Chander Bhagat, Faqir Nath, Rajnish Sharma, Indu Pawar, Pranav Shagotra and Ashok Gupta also addressed the gathering.
