RAMNAGAR, Mar 4: Voicing grave concern over growing unrest amongst the general masses, NPP chairman and former Minister Harsh Dev Singh said that the BJP-PDPs mis-governance, omissions and commissions had manifested themselves in the form of ever increasing protests and demonstrations as seen in various parts of the State.
Addressing public meeting at Dalsar today Singh said that public resentment against this Govt was brewing with each passing day with multifarious social, political groups expressing their dis-satisfaction against a highly un-responsive and callous Govt. With various sections of civil society, employees general public agitating on the roads and an apathetic Govt averse to their woes and concerns, the credibility of the ruling alliance was at the lowest ebb.
NPP leader said with Kashmir already on the boil, the situation in Jammu region was fast deteriorating due to mishandling and mal-governance. The Govt having failed to appropriately address the Nowshera, Sunderbani and Kalakot crisis, the situation in district Kathua had also gone from bad to worse with ministers openly provoking the masses amidst defiance of prohibitory orders, he lamented.
Singh said that BJP and PDP were both playing communal cards in furtherance of their petty political motives deliriously unmindful of the damage they were doing to the system and society. Blaming the vested political interests for whipping up communal passions, Singh regretted that never before had the threat to our mutual brotherhood and communal harmony been so pronounced. Rather than addressing the issue of murder of eight year old infant baby, the incumbent rulers had fuelled the fire and aggravated tensions with their irresponsible utterances only to reap the political dividends of a communal divide.
Cautioning the politicians to refrain from politics of divide and rule, Singh said that people of Rajouri, Kathua and also of the borders were keenly observing the conduct of the Govt which was trying to hide its administrative and developmental failures by fuelling controversies.
Regarding the issues of the Ramnagar constituency, Singh expressed concern over the scarcity of ration and other civil supplies with large scale complaints of pilferage of ration supplies going un-addressed, deficiency of teaching staff in almost all the rural area schools, dysfunctional irrigation canals, deplorable condition of roads desperately crying for repairs and irregular power and water supply which were the common complaints in almost all the villages.
