UDHAMPUR, May 21: Accusing the BJP – PDP Government of divesting the rural and far flung areas of their due share of developmental grants, Panthers Party chairman Harsh Dev Singh expressed grave concern over the pathetic developmental scenario in the such areas. He was addressing several public meetings during his tour of Majua and Rassain villages of Ramnagar constituency.
Charging the Government and the incumbent leadership with gross neglect of remote areas, he lamented that various flagship schemes launched in the past for development and uplift men of the rural poor had totally collapsed with people fast losing confidence in the present dispensation. He regretted that not only had the newly announced schemes failed to take off but the already existing schemes had also become defunct with the Government and its ministers totally unaware of the rural woes.
Making a particular mention of Ramnagar constituency, Singh said that not only was the condition of roads deplorable, but the people were facing the worst nightmares due to chaotic power supply, ration shortage and drinking water crises in the constituency. He expressed his dismay over the complaints of several villages who named certain officers refusing to restore their water and power connections without the recommendation of MLA.
Ridiculing an untutored BJP, Harsh Dev Singh took a pot shot at its senior leadership for raising several demands through the media deliriously oblivious of the fact that they themselves were ruling at the Centre and in the State. He said that despite being in power they were making demands pertaining to early completion of Artificial Tawi Lake, equitable share to Jammu youth in employment, creation of separate PSCs, action against stone pelters and anti-nationals besides other issues. The imbecile leaders have failed to realize that being in power they had to take decisions and not to make demands, he added.
Prominent among others who spoke during the rallies included Pt Shiv Ram, Dev Singh, Sandoor Singh, Charan Dass, Jagdish Singh, Sham Lal, Pushpinder Singh, Jasbir Singh, Sushil Sharma, Sunil Singh, Arun Dev Singh, Khem Raj, Krishan Lal, Ashok Malkan, Vinod Sharma, Mohinder Kumar, Rakesh Singh Bandral, Vicky, Darshan Singh, Sudesh Singh besides others.
