SAMBA, Jan 23: Apni Party Provincial President Jammu Manjit Singh today criticized the administration for its failure to provide basic amenities in Mananu village in Nud Block here.
During his visit to the village where majority of the population belong to the Schedule Caste community, he observed that the roads were in bad condition.
“The people have complaints about the unscheduled power cuts, and no proper supply of clean drinking water in SC residential colony,” he said and added that it shows the biased approach adopted by the administration towards the marginalized section of society.
He said that the authorities have failed to perform and hardly listen to the poor section of society.
“Talking about good governance cannot deliver it on the ground as the people in general continue to suffer. Every section of society has suffered with the false claims and propaganda which are never implemented on the ground,” he added.
He said that the Government must not delay the holding of assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir as it has led to the suffering of the people for more than three years.
“The officials are acting as dictators because no Government is in place and therefore, the elections are a must to end the feeling of alienation among the people. The people are angry due to the absence of Government and no one is giving heed to their developmental issues,” he added.
He further said that the people are disappointed with the present system of governance which needs to be replaced with an elected Government but the restoration of Statehood is must before the polls.
“The people are not in any mood to compromise on the Statehood issue. It was a historic state and their status should not be compromised at any cost,” he said.
He said that the people especially the SC population are deprived of development and demanded intervention of Lt Governor in the issues of the marginalized classes.
