SRINAGAR: Ahead of bypolls, former chief minister and NC leader Omar Abdullah today termed the ruling PDP as a party of “broken promises” and challenged it to spell out even one promise that it has kept.
“It (People’s Democratic Party) is used to making hollow rhetorical promises with the least intention of keeping its word. Spell out even one of the promises that has been kept,” Omar said addressing a joint National Conference-Congress election rally at Khanabal in Anantnag town, 55 kms from here.
Listing some of the promises made by PDP in the past three years, he said the 2014 flood sufferers stand living testimony of the Governmental apathy as they are yet to get any respite or promised compensation.
“PDP generated euphoria over compensation and flood relief but once in power they left the victims to fend for themselves. Instead of enhancing relief, the PDP found it more convenient to increase the number of pellet bullets to target Kashmiris,” he said and asked as to what had happened to the much hyped “battle of ideas”.
