DADPETH/MUGALMAIDAN: Vice President PCC J and K, G. M Saroori said that the people friendly approach of the Congress Party has frustrated the leadership of coalition partners in Jammu and Kashmir, which was evident from their rhetoric and propaganda campaign against the Congress dispensation.
Addressing public meetings in Dadpeth and Mugalmaidan areas in district Kishtwar, Saroori termed Peoples’ Democratic Party and Bhartiya Janta Party as two sides of same coin, who are bent upon to divide the people in the name of region, religion and caste. The divisive politics by these political parties, he said, is detrimental to the integrity and unity of the State.
“State Government continues to reel under the burden of huge structural negative balance in Current Revenues (BCR) and the situation has further been aggravated by the unprecedented floods that struck the State in September 2014 resulting in colossal losses to life, landslides, windstorms, damage to private property and public infrastructure in J and K and Chenab Valley as well. The damages have adversely impacted the pace of economic activity in the State also leading to erosion of State Government revenues,” said Saroori.
He said that empty treasuries have exposed government’s claims that it has enough financial resources. He said Central Government is also showing “Lollipop” to State Government as the government seeked special and additional financial assistance to bail the State Government out of the current financial crises but it’s now more than two months after the formation of government not a single penny of rupees has been released by the Central Government that shows there malicious intention towards Jammu and Kashmir.
Saroori further said that some vested interests are hell bent to create confusion among the peace loving people on religious and regional basis by raising emotional slogans but the secular forces in the State like Jammu and Kashmir have to come together to give befitting reply to such nefarious elements.
