JAMMU, May 25: Former Minister and senior Congress leader Raman Bhalla today said that Coalition Govt has miserably failed to address the grievances of people of the State.
Addressing deputation from Rani Bagh in Gandhi Nagar constituency here today, Mr Bhalla said that people in all the three regions are the worst hit due to failure of administration, in mitigating their sufferings. Multiple issues concerning people in the regions are being ignored. Non- availability of electricity and essential commodities has added miseries to the people.
Referring to the Food Security Act, Mr Bhalla said that this scheme was not applicable to J&K State and it should not have been implemented without being debated or passed by the State Legislature in order to safeguard the interests of the people of the State, but the administration is deliberately creating confusion among the masses on this count. He said that people are facing acute shortage of ration for the past few months, as the Government has failed to supply the sanctioned scale of ration while sugar has not been provided for the past around four months.
Expressing concern over the prevailing circumstances in the State, Bhalla said Govt has miserably failed to address people’s grievances and urged upon the Governor to address the public concerns, in respect of development, rations, electricity etc. He claimed that Congress alone represents aspirations of the people in all the three regions and is committed for equitable development of the State. He said that coalition’s tall claims have proved hollow and they stood exposed in every field.
The people apprised Mr Bhalla about the erratic power supply and the deterioration in the water supply in the area. They said the work on the sectioned projects under RGGVY phase-II for electrification of left out areas, have not been started despite lapse of over one year. He lashed out at the Govt for its failure to concede the demands of the daily wagers, needs based, CP workers, ITI trained and other such categories in PHE, Irrigation, Flood Control and other departments and urged the Govt to frame regularization policy for them.
