NC - Congress Party Govt fails on all fronts in J&K: S. Manjit Singh
‘Jammu feels betrayed by BJP MLAs'
Says Apni Party to launch awareness campaign against Govt, BJP
JAMMU: - Apni Party’s Provincial President, Jammu, and Former Minister, S. Manjit Singh has said that one-year of Governance by the National Conference with the support of Congress Party in Jammu and Kashmir has failed on all fronts.
“The NC – Congress Party had promised during election campaigns about electricity usage waiver on certain units, employment to the unemployed youth, development, and restoration to the statehood,” the Former Minister picked holes in the hollow assurances made by the ruling parties during their campaign in Jammu and Kashmir Assembly Elections.
He was addressing a provincial level meeting of the Apni Party at Gandhi Nagar in Jammu.
The Former Minister, S. Manjit Singh chaired the meeting, and held a threadbare discussion on the emerging political issues, issue of the unemployed youth, and growing concerns about underdevelopment, and poor response to the damages caused by the recent flash-floods/heavy rains.
While discussing various issues, S. Manjit Singh said that the people have been left to the mercy of God even as an elected Govt has taken over charge from the LG Govt on civilian matters. However, all the issues remain unresolved.
“The Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah has adopted a tactic to divert attention of the people from the failure of his Govt towards the LG so that they save their face in public. But the people know that the NC failed to fulfil all the promises even as it is enjoying rule in J&K for the last one year,” he said, while challenging the NC to resign from the Govt if they really feel suffocated.
He said that the NC is enjoying the rule with support from BJP that is ruling the central Govt.
“Both NC and BJP are hands in glove to mislead the people. These parties have given free hands to the non-local contractors to extract minerals and indulge in illegal mining across J&K, while looting of minerals continues under the supervision of the present Govt, the local youth suffer at the hands of the police and mining department’s questionable actions. These mining mafia work under the protection of the concerned department, and police at various districts,” he added, pointing out the recent floods that has caused damage to the roads and bridges across Jammu plains from Samba to Kathua because of the illegal mining.
He demanded a high-level probe into the illegal mining that has damaged public property.
He also accused the Govt of misleading the unemployed youth as it failed to refer the vacant posts to the recruitment agencies, and on the other hand, the recruitment agencies have come under scanner.
Meanwhile, he asked the Party colleagues to intensify their public outreach program and educate people about the failure of the Govt.
