The NC-Congress coalition has also completely failed to provide compensation to the riot victims of Kishtwar and these people are regularly being transferred by the administration.
While the administration in Jammu provided relief and compensation to traders in only 15 days time why the riot-hit person in Kishtwar are being denied it even after passing of more than 7 months, he asked?

He demanded registration of separate FIR regarding this incident.
On development front, the Government has completely failed and even basic infrastructure like roads, schools, drinking water supply, drainage are in shambles. It is only due to his failure that he wants to divert the attention of people over basic development issue and corruption create polarization and ill-will among the various section of society, he said.
