Addressing the meeting, party additional general secretary Ajay Sadhotra observed that in the absence of a popular government, the authorities in different departments had adopted a non-serious approach with nobody ready to listen to the woes of the people. He emphasized that the prolonged absence of Assembly elections has exacerbated the difficulties faced by the residents of Jammu and Kashmir.

He observed that Panchayat Raj system has collapsed today due to expiring of term of Panchayats in J&K and said that BJP has deliberately delayed the Panchayat and ULB elections due to fear of defeat. He said the BJP wanted to control the powers in the hands of few bureaucrats to easily run through remote control from the Centre to carry out the propaganda of the government at the Centre through the administrative machinery, for the upcoming elections.
