Why no developmental works were not
taken till 2002, when National Conference were at the helm of affairs in
Inderwal for 50 years: Saroori asked general public of Thathri
THATHRI, OCTOBER 09: - In a scathing
attack full of sarcasm, Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC),
Vice President, Ghulam Mohamamd Saroori said here today that as the day of
polling for urban local bodies Thathri and Kishtwar is on 10th of October, an
interesting scenario is developing, wherein most of the opposition political
parties in Inderwal are supporting Independent candidates, thus leaving stray
Independents to face the Congress candidates.
Addressing a Party meeting attended
by Congress candidates contesting election for Thathri Municipal Council,
Saroori said, as far as Bhartiya Janta Party, People’s Democratic party and
National Conference are concerned, many of its prospective candidates have
refused to accept the Party mandate because they realize that the tag of the
BJP or PDP or NC might end up further reducing their vote share. As a result,
many of the BJP, PDP and NC aspirants have instead filed their nomination
papers as Independent candidates on different symbols.
Saroori said PDP, NC aspirants have
defied the Party leadership's boycott call and filed their nomination papers as
Independents with bizarre symbols ranging from truck, matchbox etc. Adding
another comic aspect to the scenario are the members belonging to disgruntled
fringe elements who have been either expelled or sidelined by the Congress
later joined NC, BJP and PDP parties have entered the poll fray as Independent
with a sadist design to act as spoilsport, he added.
Enumerating several path-breaking developmental
works seen in Thathri during Mr. Saroori tenure as MLA, Sub district status for
Thathri, tehsil status for Phagsoo, opening of new administrative units,
construction of 48 Mw Lower Kalnai HEP, status of Municipality for Thathri,
Government Degree College, opening of higher secondary’s, high schools, middle
schools, primary schools at peoples door steps, Public Health Centre, Trauma
Centre, Opening of sub-centres at far flung areas, Watershed, widening of
Thathri bazaar road, construction of various link roads, sanctioning of funds
for the blacktopping work on all the link roads of Thathri, 2.5 crores for the
water supply schemes in Thathri, creation of separate division for various
department include PMGSY, R&B, PHE, PDD, Education zone and others,
distributing of solar lights, sanctioning of electricity among all the
households, construction of Eidgah Thathri on the pattern of Srinagar Eidgah,
Widening of link roads, Opening of JK bank branches and others.
Saroori called upon the people and raise
the question, why all these development works were not undertaken after
independence till 2002, when National Conference were at the helm of affairs in
Inderwal. He said, Party who is opposing us today were representing in the
state Assembly in the past, we are proud to have done in sixteen years for the
people of Inderwal, what they could not do during their long tenures of 50
years, we are not so naive as they think and therefore, each day, we will keep
reminding the people about their non-performance, their misappropriations and
their corrupt practices in the past.
JKPCC Vice President further said
that asked the people to choose that Party which has the track record of
initiating the developmental activities in Inderwal, adding that those who are
selling dreams are bent upon dividing the people and are the real enemies of
the area. “Urging the people of the Thathri, Kishtwar to vote decisively in
favour of the Congress candidates”, Saroori appealed.
At Balgran Drabshalla area, Saroori
visited the residence of those who recently passed away. He also met with
senior party functionaries and said that Congress has always projected and
promoted the interests of all sections of the pluralistic society, as the area
belong to the people of all religions and faiths, but certain forces are
indulging in the politics of hatred and divisiveness which will harm the unity
and harmony in the area. Saroori said Congress Party has given a new paradigm
of development and governance in the Chenab Valley which was characterized by
all-round and equitable development, efficiency, transparency and
people-friendly image.
