VIJAYPUR, Oct 24: Ex-Minister and Congress leader Manjit Singh today levelled serious allegations of discrimination and partiality against another ex-minister and National Conference (NC) leader Surjeet Singh Salathia.
Salathia is presently MLA from Vijaypur Constituency and has already been declared as NC candidate for forthcoming assembly elections. Manjit Singh, who is Congress leader today went all guns blazing after Salathia and levelled serious allegations on Salathia. He said that many areas in Vijaypur Constituency are under-developed even as Crores of rupees have been spent on black topping and other construction works in Bari Brahmana.
Singh, who was speaking before the hundreds of people in village Badi Khad sought probe into the works being taken up and done in Badi Khad, Mean Charkan and other adjoining areas of Bari Brahmana. Singh after hearing the grievances of the locals alleged that as far as connectivity and water supply was concerned, the local MLA has ignored several areas.
"Water supply has been restored after 15 to 20 days in Badi Khad locality and it had hit the normal life badly due to the discriminatory approach of the departments as well as the arrogant attitude of local MLA," Singh alleged. Former minister said that black topping which was done on many of the washed away roads during flash floods in the rest past have again got badly damaged.
He demanded that state government should order a probe to ascertain standard of material used in the black topping of roads. He further alleged that money released for flood victims has been allegedly misappropriated and used in other works to appease sitting MLA of National Conference Surjeet Singh Salathia. Works are being taken up in Vijaypur constituency without the mandatory government approval and that too with the money meant for flood victims," he alleged.
He added that deserving people have been living on the mercy of God. Salathia said that local MLA remained Industrial Minister for a long time but local unemployed youth were ignored and people of outside the state were being preferred for jobs in the industrial sector. "Locals are engaged in industries on contract basis not on permanent basis which is a grave concern for unemployed youth and people of Kandi area," he said.
He said that there was a need to give preference to the local youth for their employment in the industrial sector since this sector was opened for them. Later, he said that Congress party was able to keep the three regions of Jammu and Kashmir united and do equal developmental works in all the regions without any discrimination. Those who were present on the occousion Include Modh Saleem, Retd Principal Noor Hussain, Mohd Saleem Polla, Sewa Ram, Arjun Singh Charak , Sohan Singh Kattal, Sarpanch Brij Pal Singh Goggi, Sumaar Singh Manhas, Vinod Singh, Aziz Khan, Mustak Ch., Manzoor and Shamas Ch. |
