BUNJWAH: Vice President JKPCC and MLA Inderwal, Ghulam Mohammad Saroori on Wednesday termed PDP-BJP coalition government “apathetic and incompetent”, charging the ruling parties with indulging in “juvenile pranks” and neglecting the people and their problems.
Addressing a public meeting of Dramni Nali area in Tehsil Bunjwah, Saroori said that state government failed to provide people with the basic amenities and infrastructure required for catering to their daily problems and woes like electricity and supply of drinking water and adding that Govt. had failed to fulfill its basic responsibilities and their claims of solving the problems of the people had fallen flat.
Seeking to remind PDP-BJP of their duties in providing basic amenities to the people, Saroori asked the government to focus on the problems of water, electricity and health care, besides providing rations to the people in time.
Saroori accused the PDP-BJP government in the state of adopting “anti-farmer” policies which led to their woes. He said that the present centre and state governments promised farmers that the support price of their yields will be increased by 50% and the same is also incorporated in their election manifesto. He said that the BJP government has come to power and more than two years have elapsed but they didn’t fulfil their promises.
“Despite the announcement made by the State Govt of waiver on 50 per cent Kisan Credit Card (KCC) loans, in the Budget Session last year, the department has, however, so far given no such waiver, “Saroori added. He said that the State Govt had last year said that to provide immediate relief to the farming community, the Government had announced waiver of 50 per cent KCC loans in case of small and vulnerable farmers in view of the crop loss suffered by them due to floods. However, the officials in the Department said that no such benefit has been provided to the farmers so far.
