Srinagar, Aug 19: Ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti today said that the party is in the works for a comprehensive resolution to J&K's "political, economic and developmental problems" and the results will be out soon, for all to see. "We have started picking up the threads from where we left in 2005 to revive the process of political resolution and economic rejuvenation in the state. My party will resolve to work for a comprehensive resolution of state political, economic and developmental problems.
"The results of this renewed effort will be there for everybody to see, sooner than later," Mehbooba said while addressing a convention of PDP cadres in central Kashmir's Ganderbal district. While stating that the party is optimistic about a reversal of fortune for the state, the PDP leader said that the party's core agenda was not event-related, rather it is a process which would be taken to the logical conclusion through tangible initiatives at political, economic and administrative fronts.
"We have demonstrated this strategy during our brief stint in power between 2002 and 2005, and would continue to pursue our core ideals and developmental agenda with unflinching consistency in our present tenure in the government as well," she said. Mehbooba said the PDP-led government had in 2002 sparked political, economic and social activity on a phenomenal scale in the state facilitating complete transformation of the ground situation on almost every front. "Lack of political direction, repression, rampant misgovernance, large-scale corruption, fiscal mismanagement, nepotism and institutional decay perpetuated by the National Conference (NC)-led coalition government during the past six years has brought the situation back to square one," she charged. |
