Gurez, Nov 22: Asserting that the Congress-led Government alone can change the destiny of remote, backward and far flung areas of the State, Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha & Former Chief Minister of state Ghulam Nabi Azad today said that we have demonstrated our will and ability between 2006-08 to spread the fruits of developments to the hitherto neglected and marginalised areas like Gurez, Tangdhar, Chenab region, Arnas, Pir Panjal etc. Ghulam Nabi Azad said this while addressing an impressive public gathering at Tulail, Gurez here today in support of Congress Party Candidate Raja Faqir Mohammad Khan Gurezi, Ex-MLA.
Responding to the huge crowd that had converged at Tulail, Azad said, "I am touched by the love and affection which has been demonstrated by the people of Gurez today." Without naming any particular individual, Azad in a veiled attack said that he doesn't believe in stage managed crowds to mislead the people and expressed his deep gratitude to the people for showering immense love and affection on him. Giving an overview of the works done by him as Chief Minister for remote and far off areas, Azad said that roads, colleges, hospitals, schools were constructed during the Congress-led regime in a coordinated and expeditious manner and that these landmarks are visible on the ground. He also said that special recruitment drives were carried out for the local youth in J&K Police and CRPF during his tenure.
Rejecting the claims of certain regional parties who were seeking vote in the name of stopping BJP's onslaught in J&K, Azad said that people of the State know how these regional parties are going overboard to mollycoddle BJP in their lust for power and that their claims of fighting the saffron party is actually are far from truth. He reiterated that it is the Congress alone which has the capacity and determination to thwart the divisive agenda of BJP and therefore, the need of the hour is to strengthen the Congress in the State. While drawing attention of the people to the devastating earthquake October 2005, Azad said that the massive reconstruction work was started by his Govt. with the full support of UPA Govt in a coordinated, efficient and serious manner, as that was the first challenge which Congress-led Government had to tackle. Azad said that "time-tested", "credible" and "capable" regime of Congress-led Govt. alone can bring out the flood-ravaged State out of morass & put the devastated economy of the State on the path of reconstruction, prosperity and progress."If development-oriented, clean and transparent governance is what people of flood-ravaged J&K require people must give chance to Congress Party, as its credentials in reconstruction are very well known" said Azad |
