| Is there anyone to see "open power theft" at Kothis/ Bunglows allotted to your Mantris in Jammu? | | Kind Attention Mr Chief Minister! | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Jan 8: Kind Attention Omar Abdullah! Even while your direction to PDD officials, to disconnect the power supply to VVIPs including his own residential Bunglow at Gupkar Road in Srinagar from Essential Service Feeder and divert the same to hospitals and other essential installations, has been widely appreciated but what about misuse of power supply and also open power theft being done in the official Kothis/Bunglows of most of the ministers in your cabinet, here in Jammu.
Amazingly, the senior officials of Power Development Department (PDD) are "deliberately" maintaining their silence over the issue as they too fear to face the music if they point out any "VVIP vi... | |

SRINAGAR, Jan 8: With the near-total breakdown of power, water supply and communication systems, life has been thrown completely out of gear in Kashmir valley even as Chief Minister Omar Abdullah is camping here alongwith senior bureaucrats and making desperate attempts to restore services.

| | | | All is not well within BJP in J&K: As "inner coterie" projects Jitender as next state president, party frets | | | | Bharat Bhushan
JAMMU, Jan 8: All is not well within BJP in J&K. Already faced with a turmoil after the ouster of seven MLAS in cash-for-vote scam in the council elections, the party may split up into groups over the issue of the top post in the state.
The 3-year term of the present state BJP president Shamsher Manhas expires in an year, or so, but the lobbying for the top post has already begun.
Party sources said an "inner coterie" around Manhas had started projecting Dr Jitender Singh as the next president of the state BJP. Others in the race included MLA Ashok Khajuria, Nirmal Singh, MLA Jugal Kishore and Chander Prakash Ganga.
The sycophants of the "coterie" were, however, making al... | |
| | | | Not responding to charges would mean Bhim correct | | Omar Under Attack | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Jan 8: The PDP, the BJP, the JKNPP and the JSM boycotted the functions organized by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah in the civil secretariat the day his coalition government completed three years in office. On the other hand, these non-NC and non-Congress political groups dismissed the Omar Abdullah-led government as anti-people, anti-democratic and corrupt and described as false the claim of the Chief Minister that the state during his regime witnessed developmental activities on an unprecedented scale. However, it was Bhim Singh of the JKNPP who was more severe than anyone else, including the PDP leadership, in his criticisms of Omar Abdullah, had been.

| | | | Outcome of Congress-NC CC meet, an evaluation | | Coalition Of Contradictions | | | Rustam
JAMMU, Jan 8: The Congress-NC Coordination Committee (CC) met in Jammu yesterday after months to discuss issues of governance, inter-party relations and agenda for next three years. The meeting was chaired by Prof Saif-ud-Din Soz. He is the chairman of the CC. If one goes by media reports, one can definitely say that nothing concrete emerged out of the meeting. The only concrete suggestion perhaps was regarding certain commissions, which, according to the CC members, needed to be strengthened and made fully functional. The other point which merits some appreciation was the decision that the CC would meet more often.
The outcome of the meet once again established that the relations... | |
