KATHUA, Apr 13: Express-ing his anguish over total failure of official machinery to solve day today problems of the people, senior Congress leader and Member of the Legislative Council (MLC), Thakur Balbir Singh today regretted common masses have to agitate on streets just to get adequate drinking water and power supply during these hostile weather conditions.
“It appears that Government is completely collapsed and those at the helm of the affairs are busy in solving their own conflicts”, Singh said while addressing series of meetings of party workers at Billawar and Kathua areas
“People have no other option but to come on roads to agitate for getting drinking water, ration and power”, he said and pointed out that PDP-BJP coalition regime has done nothing to solve basic problems of the people.
Instead of solving peoples’ problems, leaders of coalition are over-burdened with solving their own internal conflicts and bickering. He said that two and half year period of PDP-BJP regime is marked conflict and fissures. He observed that day today problems of the people are compounding with every passing day and leaders of both the coalition partners are brazenly indulged into legalizing corruption and nepotism.
Lambasting coalition parties in general and BJP in particular, Balbir Singh said that this party has betrayed people of Jammu region as nothing has been done to solve their day today problems. BJP has failed on all fronts to provide an honest, accountable, efficient and clean administration in the State.
The MLC said that legalizing corruption was the only noticeable achievement of this regime as this government has failed to keep a check on corruption in the administration.
“Most of the announcements made by the Government to ensure supply of adequate water remains only on papers” he said while pointing towards acute scarcity of potable water in Kandi areas of Kathua district.
