JAMMU, Apr 30: Former minister and senior Congress leader Raman Bhalla has said that Coalition Government has become untraceable and public grievances are increasing manifold in the State.
Addressing public meeting at Satwari in Gandhinagar constituency today, Bhalla said that poor people are going through tough times due to indifferent attitude of the Government as the quota of ration and other essential commodities are being denied to them. Soaring prices have made the life of people extremely difficult and the Government should immediately ensure that people get their share of ration.
The former minister further said that Government is shying away from its duty to conduct urban local body and Panchayat elections. He said formation of ULBs are must to empower the people of urban areas. In the democratic system it was necessary to make representative character of all democratic institutions to ensure people’s participation. He said that the Centre has blocked grants worth crores for urban development because the State Government has failed to constitute duly elected local bodies.
“Priority of this regime is not to empower people by strengthening democratic institutions but those at the helm of the affairs want to accomplish their nefarious designs by controlling such institutions through undemocratic means”, he observed and cautioned that such attitude of the ruling party would be proved disastrous for the State.
Accusing BJP-PDP Coalition of having failed to address the problems of the people, he said the miseries of the people of the State have increased manifolds. While the BJP cheated people of Jammu, the people of Kashmir were cheated by the PDP,” Bhalla said.
Bhalla said that after passing nearly three years in the Government in the State they are not in a position to implement their agenda of alliance which is totally eyewash for the people of our State. Law and order position is out of control in the State and security of common people is badly affected. No payments to MGNREGA workers have been cleared, employees and workers are agitating for wages. There is discrimination in PSC/ SSB selections against Jammu candidates for different posts.
