Mufti Sayeed and Ghulam Nabi Azad era witnessed
massive development in JK with liberal funding from the centre government
Jammu January 11: Senior Congress legislator from Inderwal, Ghulam Mohammad Saroori while replying on Governor address in Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly said that People's Democratic Party (PDP) lacks financial and developmental support from its alliance partner Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) the way UPA government under the leadership of Sonia Gandhi and Dr. Manmohan Singh use to help state during Mufti Mohammad Sayeed tenure as Chief Minister of the state during 2002 to 2005.
Saroori said that the Mufti Sayeed and Ghulam Nabi Azad era (2002-2008) has witnessed a massive development push in trouble torn state of Jammu and Kashmir with liberal funding from the centre government.
"PDP often referred Mufti Mohammad Syed first tenure as golden era in the state of Jammu and Kashmir--- it was possible only due to liberal support and funding from your UPA government" said Saroori. He said that despite such huge support from the centre the party (PDP) backstab the Congress in 2008. He said that he was happy that PDP formed an alliance with the BJP for the sake of the development in state of Jammu and Kashmir, but Saroori says that he was surprised that not a single new developmental work was started in last two years of PDP-BJP government.
Saroori said that the much hyped Rs. 80000 cr developmental package announced by the Prime Minister Narindra Modi is nothing, but the projects started and funded by the UPA government. He said the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway, Nashri Tunnel, Railway line to Kashmir, Katra, Yatri Niwas, Hajj House, New Legislative Complex along with several other developmental projects either completed or underway are projects initiated by the UPA government. He said that smooth functioning of the various institutions needs proper attention. He said that even PDP feels disappointed the way centre ignore the state while providing the funds of the developmental works.
"At the time of coming closer with BJP--- PDP would have thought that BJP and the PM Modi will help them in similar way, the way UPA use to help the state---- but to my disappointment I would only says that the Agenda of Alliance Document is merely a " Paper Horse" and had reduce to dead rubble" said Saroori.
Saroori said that the dreams of delimitation showed by the BJP are not anywhere to be seen added that BJP promise to accord UT status to Ladakh, rehabilitation of PoK, West Pak refugees and rehabilitation of LOC victims proved to be hollow slogans. He said that BJP silence on article 370 and its mention strengthening in governor address shows that duel attitude of the BJP who wants to stick to power that too could compromise with the aspirations of the people who voted to them. He said that BJP Ministers are the part of the cabinet meeting which accepted the strengthening of Article 370 mentioned at serial No. 6 of governor address.
Congress lawmaker said that government fails to bring any new projects in the state during last 16 months and said that construction of Singpora-Viloo and and Dubijan tunnels, connecting the Chenab valley and Pir Panchal areas of Jammu with the Kashmir division find no mention in address. He said that there was also no mention of return of power projects like Dool-Hasti, Uri & Salal as was recommended by Ranga Rajan committee and called for implementation of the recommendations of various Committees like Rangarajan Committee, Retired Justice Sageer and the recommendations of other working committees.
