| Why is Omar desperate for an alliance ? | | Fairy tales no longer fetch votes: PDP | | EARLY TIMES REPORT Srinagar, Jan 30 : The Peoples Democratic Party (PD) today said the Chief Minister should not beg for an alliance if he is confident of his 4-year report card and public support. "The fact is that the chief minister is extremely jittery about his future and his bravado doesn't match either his performance at the ground or the political credibility of his party", Chief Spokesperson PDP Naeem Akhtar and senior leader Syed Altaf Bukhari said here while responding to Omar Abdullah's statement in Ganderbal on Tuesday. The duo said the chief minister had not a single major scheme, project or program to his credit and now he is trying to blame the opposition for his failures. "In fact he has led the state backwards from a position of hope and growth into despair, anger and anxiety apart from a disastrous performance on development front", they said. According to them Omar has been talking more about PDP than his own party. "In a democracy it is the duty of the opposition to expose the weaknesses of the government and highlight people's problems but the despotic and arrogant mindset of NC born out of its long held monopoly doesn't allow it to see this as a normal political activity, with the result that the ruling party is shrinking and reducing to a client outfit trying to cling to power by hook or by crook", they said. The duo said the resent coalition is defined by fraud, corruption, inefficiency and lack of vision that has resulted in stagnation of the state in an environment of overall growth in the country. "However, public accountability has arrived in the state with the emergence of PDP as an alternative. Fairy tales don't get votes anymore in a state that now knows that governments can bring change in their lives as they witnessed for a brief while when NC was marginalised after 2002" they reminded the CM. Referring to recent stinkers from the GOI and Planning Commission of India (PCI) to state government Akhtar & Bukhari said no government has so severely been condemned for non performance as the present one. "Releases under the Prime Minister's reconstruction Program have been stopped for non performance. This program, the biggest economic intervention in the state secured by the PDP led coalition is delayed like the other major program funded by the ADB and executed through ERA", they said. They said the MNREGA has become a milch cow for the ruling politicians and their agents forcing government of India to stop releases at least in one district under this flag ship scheme. Reminding Omar that public memory is not so short as to forget all his atrocities and his false promises that people would vote for him just for his asking or political jugglery. They said he will certainly be held accountable by voters for misleading them in his own constituency during last elections where he had raised the infamous slogan 'meter todo heater lagao'. Akhtar & Bukhari said Omar government has started talking of fast track recruitment only when the elections are approaching. |
