“Since J&K has no elected Govt in place for the last several years, the issues of public importance and the developmental needs have gone unheard, despite that BJP Govt claims to have done development in J&K particularly after downgrading full-fledged State into two UTs,” Wani said and adding that till the elections are held and people elect their representative, who could hear them and solve their problems, the real development is a distant dream.
But unfortunately, BJP Govt at the Centre doesn’t want the democratic process to be restored thereby keeping people at the mercy of bureaucracy.
