Jammu, Nov 27: Taking a dig at the Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah for accusing his party of “opportunism and falsehood”, the Congress today said that the National Conference president was making false allegations to hide his failures.
In a statement issued here today, Congress Spokesman, Salman Nizami said that Omar Abdullah wasted six precious years of governance without achieving any positive results. The spokesman said that to hide the failure of his government on every front, Omar was making false accusations against the Congress. “We thought Omar Abdullah is young and energetic and that he can deliver well. However, we were wrong. He was unfit for such a prestigious position. What has Omar achieved in these 6 years?” the spokesman said.
“Administrative units are not the creation of NC. It was done by our party and now, Omar is taking credit for that too,” Nizami said and added that Chief Minister demonstrated partiality by executing developmental works only in the NC represented constituencies. He said in last six years, Omar Abdullah never complained about the Congress, but all of a sudden, he is making false accusations against the party.
“This Government did no good to the constituencies we represented. Our constituencies were discriminated,” the spokesman said.
“It is National Conference that survives on political opportunism. Had Congress been power hungry, the party would have demanded rotational Chief Minister for a period of three years,” he added.
Nizami further alleged that compared to Omar Abdullah’s full term, the two and a half years of governance by former Chief Minister, Ghulam Nabi Azad was a golden era, as far as the development of the State is concerned. The Congress government ushered a new era of development in the State, making road connectivity in the remotest areas better besides establishing more schools and colleges in the shortest possible time.
“Azad’s governance provided succour to the people of Jammu and Kashmir. It eradicated corruption to a greater extend. People had a sense of safety and security,” the spokesman added.
