| Govt appears only on papers: Mufti | | Mehboob Iqbal joins PDP along with Supporters | |  early times report
Jammu, Dec 22: Opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) patron and former Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed on Thursday last alleged that the present regime headed by National Conference has miserably failed to carry forward the equitable development agenda which was implemented by the previous PDP-Congress regime in the State.
He claimed that four years performances of this government appeared only on papers and nothing concrete has been done on the grounds.
Mufti was addressing a function to welcome former senior bureaucrat Mehboob Iqbal, who along with hundreds of his supporters today joined PDP. Iqbal, a native of Bhaderwah area, according to a statement of PDP, joined the party along with prominent educationists, retired senior officers, panches, sarpanches, social workers and activists of other political parties of Bhaderwah.
Hundreds of people who joined PDP along with Iqbal expressed faith in the leadership of Mufti and Mehoooba.
Calling upon the new entrants to strengthen the party by spreading agenda of the party, Mufti said that change was order of the day and people of State were looking towards PDP to change the present corrupt system. "It is my desire to establish a system where every sections of the society would get justice and equal opportunities for development and economic growth", he said and added that the agenda of the PDP was formulated by accommodating wishes and aspirations of all regions and sub-regions of the State.
He said that PDP during its tenure had carved out a path of peace and development in the State by treating all regions and sub-regions equally.
The PDP patron recalled that during PDP-Congress regime especial attention was paid towards neglected and remotest areas. He reminded the gathering that tourist circuits to connect Bhade-rwah with rest of the country were set up and separate Bhaderwah Development Authority was also constituted to establish this belt as independent tourist destination. He, however, regretted that the present regime has failed to complete the project.
He expressed his concern over slow pace of work on the Bani-Basohli-Sarthal-Bhaderwah road.
"Instead of following the visionary policies which were framed by the previous PDP led regime, this government has reversed the whole process", he said and regretted that except promises nothing has been done on ground.
Sardar Rangil Singh, Thakur Balbir Singh, Dilawar Mir, Ved Mahajan, Shanti Devi, Ashiq Hussain, Falail Singh, R K Bali, Sheikh Latif, Narinder Kumar and others also present on the occasion.
