JAMMU, Aug 20: Expressing concern over non- availability of power in the prevailing hostile weather conditions in border areas of Kathua district, Congress leader and Member Legislative Council (MLC), Thakur Balbir Singh today said that all claims of BJP ministers confined only on papers. He regretted that people of Jammu region have to struggle for getting basic amenities like drinking water, power and health facilities.
Interacting with delegations of people from border areas of Kathua district, who complained about non- availability of power in the prevailing difficult weather conditions, Singh expressed surprise that BJP ministers in the coalition were staking tall claims of developments but people are agitating for basic necessities like power.
He criticized the Coalition Government for ignoring the common man in the State. He said PDP-BJP Coalition Government has totally lost its credibility due to its mis-governance, which led to the failure of Government on all the fronts. He said problems like rampant corruption, unemployment and inflation in the state forced the common man to live in miserable conditions.
He observed that this regime has antagonized all sections of people whether it is the youth, Government employees, women or even children, this Government has hurt every section of the society.
The MLC said the present chaos in the State is a result of the failure of the system. He described the PDP-BJP regime as the directionless coalition meant just to grab power. He assured the delegations that he will continue its fight for common man in Legislative Council and on the roads.
