PDP achieved in 3 years what NC couldn’t in 40 years: Baig

Excelsior Correspondent
SRINAGAR, Dec 15: Terming the people’s court as supreme in any democratic system, People’s Democratic Party (PDP) today asked the ruling National Conference to look into the report card of their last five years of rule instead of questioning the PDP’s brief tenure in the Government.
Addressing public meetings at Sheikhpora and Telwan in Shangus constituency, the senior party leader and former Deputy Chief Minister, Muzzaffar Hussain Baig said the NC by its political designs and lust for power has brought the State to the verge of bankruptcy.
“PDP’s three years in power outweigh NC’s forty years during which they received overwhelming support of people whom they deceived and backstabbed at every crucial juncture”, said Baig.
The party senior leaders, Mohammad Rafi Mir, Peerzada Mansoor Hussain and Peerzada Mohammad Hussain also spoke on the occasion.
Baig said Omar Abdullah has miserably failed to rule the State and the latter was using his friendship in New Delhi only to be in the power without caring about the people’s aspirations. “The PDP, on the other hand, used its stint in power for the welfare of the people and got liberal funding both from the NDA and UPA Governments that helped a great deal to change the developmental scenario of the State,” Baig said.
To show their loyalty and remain in power all the three Chief Ministers from the Abdullah family have sold out around one dozen feasible power projects to New Delhi, Baig said and added the ruling party was projecting people of J&K as beggars in Delhi.
Baig said the present crisis prevailing across the Kashmir was direct result of NC’s sellouts and mismanagement of State resources of which people were paying heavy price for.
