| Coalition Govt making state bankrupt: PDP | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, Dec 13: Accusing the National Conference-led government of having made the state bankrupt, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Friday said the entire planning and development process has derailed in J&K and it seems the state is on a virtual plan holiday.
Party's Chief Spokesman, Naeem Akhtar said the government has stopped releasing funds to vital infrastructural and social sector programmes, due to which there is complete chaos prevailing in the system. "It seems the rulers are using their friendships only to survive in power in the face of failures rather than being able to bring any relief to the state", he said.
He said the news reports about major road projects getting stuck up for want of funds, read like typical commentary on NC rule which historically has brought misery to the state. Akhtar said the rulers may be solacing themselves by laying foundation stones to different projects, but fact of the matter is that the money crunch has left the entire planning process meaningless, and the departments have no funds to execute the projects.
"The stone laying spree is only a standard election time tactic of the NC as everybody knows that the government has no money to finance them," said Akhtar.
Though, the Government of India has released money to compensate the people whose lands have been acquired for laying roads under the PMGSY, but the work on such projects is going on at snail's pace, making the whole process useless, he said.
Similarly, the financial indiscipline has made the all important social sector schemes under the RAMSA and SSA useless, as they have not been able to get the desired results on the ground.
"One of the reasons for the near blackout enforced by the present government is the cash crunch that it has caused as a result of loot of resources, corruption and mis-governance" he said. |
