| Omar trying to claim Jammu-Udhampur four laning Project | | NC flags, hoardings greet CM | |  Early Times Report
Jammu, Jan 9: With his eyes on the upcoming elections, Omar Abdullah has started collecting the list of achievements of his tenure, moreover he is also trying to claim projects initiated by others.
Omar today inspected the status of 4-lanning of Jammu-Srinagar National Highway from Jammu to Udhampur. "Local youth should have priority preference in getting jobs in the projects being executed by the private and Central companies in the State", Omar said.
After two years of the commencement of the project, what makes Omar to ask the companies to give preferences to the local youth, when the project is about to get completed. Omar's visit to Udhampur seems more political than a development move.
"I think Omar is trying to claim the four- laning project as an achievement of his Government, but everyone knows that it is the project of the Government of India and a heavy toll tax will be levied on the vehicles for its use," said Sunil Sharma, a resident of Udhampur.
As the UPA has given indications of Lok Sabha elections in April, and Assembly elections are also due in 2014, Omar has started counting his achievements, but unfortunately he himself fails to start it.
Hundreds of Policemen were deployed on the Jammu-Udhampur National Highway, as Chief Minister was visiting the highway and the National Conference had also decorated the highway with the flags of NC and the flex of Omar Abdullah and Farooq Abdullah.
"If he was visiting the highway as Chief Minister of the state, then why the flags and flexes of NC were there on the highway?," asked Ashwani Verma, a resident of Jhajjar Kotli.
"He was here for political campaign, Omar visited the highway as NC leader not as Chief Minister of the state," he added. |
