Early Times Report
Anantnag, Nov 24: The National Conference today said that the holding of Panchayat Elections after a gap of 30 years in the state vindicates the keenness of NC and Congress coalition to strengthen the grass root institutions, while reiterating that powerful Panchayat Raj system in the State is the commitment of coalition government
"We held these elections despite speculations and fear created by some elements who are presently talking of powers to Panchayats", the National Conference working President Omar Abdullah accompanied by PCC President Saifuddin Soz said on Saturday while addressing panches, sarpanches at Anantnag, Shopian, Kulgam, and Pulwama. He questioned the opposition's role in non-devolution of powers to Municipal Corporation and urban local bodies during their tenure.
"They made these institutions toothless and starved them for want of funds and people are witness to the fact how PDP made urban local bodies Ineffective and powerless" said Omar, adding "The coalition government rejuvenated Panchayats and transferred powers of 14 departments to these besides providing funds for undertaking development works".
"I told you to beware of PDP conspiracy and emotional blackmailing. They can go to any extent to grab power. They can use gun and polities simultaneously to seek chair", he said and called for unity in the ranks and files of NC-Congress at gross roots. He said MLC election has provided a golden opportunity to the workers of the two parties to develop strong bonds of coalition at grass root.
Omar said the success of Panchayat Raj system in the State is the success of coalition government and National Conference and Congress parties. He asked Panches and Sarpanches to vote in large numbers for the joint candidates fielded by these parties for MLC seats.
