SAMBA, Oct 1: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha’s administration is playing in the hands of BJP leadership in J&K by first subjugating the people by creating problems and then asking them to contact BJP leaders for redressal.
This was stated by Rattan Lal Gupta, provincial president of National Conference (NC) after inaugurating the Party office here at Ramgarh in a very impressive function organized by Ashok Kumar Attri (retired DIG), vice president NC central zone. The senior NC functionary was accompanied by Ajay Sadhotra (former minister) and Sheikh Bashir Ahmed (provincial secretary, NC).
Castigating the Government for not doing enough for the people, Rattan Lal Gupta said that LG’s Administration has proven to be complete failure as can be well gauged by the reports of Chief Secretary snubbing the concerned quarters over callous approach towards development projects kept at disposal of HoDs for administrative approval.
The provincial president said that the LG Administration under the orders of central dispensation and in connivance with BJP leadership has created a peculiar situation in J&K whereby segments of people having grievances were asked to first approach BJP leaders and in turn these leaders reach out to the Government showing that they are the only ‘Messiahs’ who can resolve issues of people.
Rattan Lal said that the LG’s Administration has turned out to be a dummy Government in the Union Territory with no powers of its own as the instructions are being broadcasted from New Delhi. He said that the current scenario in the State is abysmal as democracy is being killed at every stage by the majority party leadership, which is dictating terms to the LG’s Administration.
Ajay Sadhotra highlighted the issues of border dwellers claiming that BJP Government has not fulfilled even a single promise made with these hapless people as they are still longing for plots assured by the BJP Government and the situation with regard to water, power and other civic infra is also hanging in balance with no signs of things taking a good turn.
