JAMMU, Oct 27: Former minister and senior Congress leader Raman Bhalla has alleged that the `insensitive coalition’ has failed in meeting aspirations of the people and the disappointment among the people against this regime has been on the rise.
While interacting with the people of Ekta Vihar in Gandhi Nagar constituency today, Bhalla said that State was virtually witnessing mis-governance. “In fact, the governance is no where visible. It is seen anywhere, it is for all the wrong reasons of exploiting people and inciting them to fight each other. This Government always tried to create wedge between Kashmir and Jammu, ” he maintained.
Bhalla further said that during past over two and half years, the of PDP-BJP Government in two spells brought just miseries to the people, as development and implementation of various welfare schemes remained a far cry due to inexperience of the BJP. He said both the coalition partners worked at cross purposes as a result of which the people remained at the receiving end. He said the utility services like power, drinking water and health has been deplorable while the availability of rations at the sale outlets has been scarce. He said the people of the State have realised futility of reposing their trust to the coalition which has failed on all fronts.
The situation on development front in particular is alarming in remote and far-off areas while resentment is brewing among educated unemployed, as the Government has failed in creating opportunities for them. He said the daily wagers have been forced to take to streets for seeking regularisation, the old-age and widows are running helter-skelter for their pensions.
The former Minister expressed serious concern over deteriorating scenario in the Valley, saying Jammu was no less suffering with people having been subjected to abject neglect. He said the benefits of various schemes were accruing to chosen few with poor of the poorest finding himself in lurch.
The former minister while slamming both Central and State Govt for their failure to control rising inflation alleged that it has badly affected domestic budget thereby making public life from bad to worst.
