SRINAGAR, Nov 12: People’s Democratic Party (PDP) senior leader and Member of Parliament, Muzaffar Hussain Baig today said that J&K was poised for a big change not just in Government but the system that has been subverted by the coalition Government led by National Conference.
Addressing a public meeting in Kangan, he said the NC and Congress rout in the Lok Sabha polls would seal their fate further in the coming Assembly elections. He said PDP’s agenda of reconciliation, reconstruction and resolution would be implemented in every part of the State so as to empower every individual resident of Jammu & Kashmir.
Baig said the decision of Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to run away from Ganderbal even before the election is the most explicit poster of that party’s acceptance of defeat ahead of the polling.
“If the CM and head of the party is on the run how can other candidates hope to withstand the tide of danger against the ruling party triggered by its mis-governance and misconduct,” he asked.
Baig alleged that Omar Abdullah Government made the State almost bankrupt in last six years. To cope up with emergencies like the one prevailing at present when treasuries are unable to honour bills, the J&K Bank would serve the State, but this Government by handing over its debt management and overdraft facility to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has deprived the State of its last resort, he explained.
Baig, who represents North Kashmir in the Lok Sabha, expressed concern over the way the ruling Government, for its trivial political gains, has subverted the normal employment process by bypassing the established institutions of recruitment in the State thus marring the merit to benefit its own people. “It has been the age old policy of the National Conference not to allow the institutions to grow because they fear that they won’t be able to resort to malpractices once the institutions start working transparently,” he said.
Bashir Ahmad Mir, candidate for Kangan Assembly constituency was also present on the occasion.
