SAMBA, June 18: Former minister and senior National Conference (NC) leader, Surjeet Singh Slathia has assailed PDP-BJP dispensation for political inconsistency, deceit and betrayal to the people, saying their wrong policies have brought Jammu and Kashmir at the cross roads of the history.
“The State is in total chaos and the people of all the three regions are suffering”, Slathia said while addressing workers meeting at Ramgarh this afternoon.
He said the opportunist and power hungry coalition has lost will to govern and lack of political direction has plunged the State into administrative inertia and developmental paralysis. The deplorable condition of utility services has hugely impacted the people, especially in the Jammu region which is reeling under perpetual power shedding and water scarcity during the current scorching Summer. While development has come to a grinding halt, the people have been forced to run helter skelter for minimum basics, Slathia added.
Coming down heavily on the BJP for betraying peoples’ mandate and virtually leaving them in lurch, Slathia said the slogans of change and “Ache Din” have proven hoax and the coalition partners have reneged on every single statement and promise they made during elections. He said duplicity and insincerity of the allies has brought the State to morass with people feeling insecure and economically deprived.
He said the governance is at the lowest ebb and developmental activities have stopped at the stages where the Omar led Government had left these. In fact, he said the present dispensation has not only abandoned the schemes initiated by the previous Government but also failed to take up new projects as per needs of the people.
Blaming the PDP-BJP for plunging Jammu and Kashmir into unprecedented political uncertainty, Slathia expressed concern over their concerted attempts to polarize the situation in order to hide their failures on governance front. He highlighted sector-wise deficiencies accrued and accumulated during the past over two and half years and said the semblance of the Government is not seen anywhere on ground. He gave a detailed account of problems faced to the people of Vijaypur Constituency, saying the people are craving for attention with the elected representatives feeling no urgency or having no sincerity to solve these.
