JAMMU: In a statement to the media persons given by Ravinder Sharma Chief Spokesperson on behalf of the State President of Congress Party G.A Mir, said that the two coalition partners owe an explanation to the people for the ongoing uncertainty in the State of Jammu and Kashmir.
The top brass of the Congress Party met here today to discuss the prevailing political scenario in the State, in the wake of ongoing un- certainty over formation of a popular government in the State. The meeting presided over by the President JKPCC G.A Mir was attended by senior leaders of the party including senior functionaries of PCC and legislators (MLA/MLCs).
The meeting viewed that the ongoing uncertainty over the formation of government in the State is the matter of great concern for the people as their day to day problems are getting compounded, as the Governor’s rule, howsoever best it may be , cannot be a substitute to a popular government. This kind of uncertainty is an indication of the fact that the two coalition partners (PDP-BJP) who had come together for the Govt. formation after cutting across their stated positions on various issues, did not feel fully satisfied amongst themselves also, what to talk of the people who felt cheated and betrayed for the reasons well known.
The meeting also took stock of the problems of people especially on account of acute shortage of ration and power scenario besides retardation in the developmental activities and rehabilitation of flood affected people in the State. Although the Governor’s administration is taking all measures to deal with the day today problems of people, the Central Government has failed to honour its commitment with the people of the State to provide the required quota of ration as a result the situation has taken alarming proportion on this front compounded by strike of workers.
The Governor was also appealed to fully gear up the administrative machinery to deal with the day to day problems of the people in a more responsive and effective manner.
The party has asked its cadres to highlight the current problems of the people at the grass root levels and perform the role of bridge between the people and the administration to mitigate their problems.
The meeting also reviewed the organisational activities especially the ongoing membership drive and expressed great satisfaction over the overwhelming response received by party in all three regions of the State.
The meeting also strongly condemned the action of the Central Government regarding imposition of President rule in Arunachal Pradesh and described it as a murder of democracy whereby an elected Govt. was destabilised and sought to be dismissed.
