RAMBAN, June 1: Chief spokesperson, People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and Member Legislative Council, Naeem Akhtar today said that belated ‘realization’ and ‘transformation’ of Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, was merely a desperate attempt of National Conference (NC) to cling to power in Jammu and Kashmir.
“It took him (Omar) almost six years and that too after humiliating defeat in LS polls to realize that he was arrogant and inaccessible to the people. He was elected by the people to represent them and redress their grievances but instead the Chief Minister behaved like CEO of a private enterprise, Akhtar said.
He was addressing a well-attended convention of PDP (Youth) here today. Akhtar was accompanied by PDP youth president, Waheed-ur-Rehman Parra, Arshid Malik, Abdul Ahad Wani, Swami Raj Bhagat, Imtiyaz Khanday, Showkat Daing and Shahnawaz Mir.
Responding to media reports quoting the Chief Minister that he has changed 180 degrees after facing clean sweep in the Lok Sabha elections, Akhtar said, “People are wise enough to understand the gimmick of NC and its leadership.”
“The claims of introspection and change will not mop out the wounds and sufferings this dispensation has inflicted upon the people with its inefficiency, mis-governance and anti-people approach during the last around six years”, he said.
“It is the interests and basic aim which separate the PDP from NC. While PDP has sacrificed power for the people, NC is known for bartering interests and aspirations of people to stick to power”, he said.
PDP youth president, Waheed-ur-Rehman Parra also spoke on the occasion.
