CHATROO, Dec 4: Underlining the huge development deficit faced by Chenab region, Indian National Congress (INC) vice president Ghulam Mohammad Saroori today said the present coalition has only worsened the situation for the residents of the mountainous areas over the past one year.
Saroori was addressing a well attended public meeting at Guri Nallah area of sub-division Chatroo in district Kishtwar here today. He claimed that people of the State were looking towards the party to replace the PDP-BJP Coalition Government, which it claimed has “failed” to implement equitable development agenda.
Alleging that PDP-BJP coalition has failed to carry forward the equitable development agenda, Saroori said Congress will formulate a comprehensive policy for inclusive growth of the State. “It is the desire of all the Congressmen to establish a system where every section of the society would get justice and equal opportunities for development and economic growth,” he said.
Calling upon party workers to launch a war against PDP-BJP Coalition for its failure to solve basic problems of the common masses, Saroori said that the present dispensation has failed on all fronts and woes of commoners have been mounting due to anti-people policies being propagated by this regime. He said that Coalition Government was nothing but an arrangement between two parties to brazenly enjoy the power. He said that under development in this belt was a clear indication that this Government was non-serious towards solving problems of the people. He called upon his party workers to educate the masses about the revolutionary steps which were taken by Ghulam Nabi Azad during his tenure as Chief Minister of the State.
Saroori also took stock of people’s problems of Guri Nalla and Singpore areas of Chatroo, besides developmental needs. The MLA Inderwal was accompanied by BDO Chatroo Subuh Shad, DFO Marwah Vijay Kumar, TSO Chatroo Tariq Munshi and a team of senior officers of PDD, PHE, RDD departments.
Congress leaders Haji Ghulam Qadir Sheikh, Haji Ghulam Mohammad Kohli, Altaf Hussain Malik, Tariq Wani, Sunavullah Sheikh, Chowdhary Qasim Din, Krishan Lal Bhagat, Mohan Lal Pandit and Chowdhary Peer Bakhsh, were also present on the occasion.
