| NC-Congress scuttling decision on administrative units under separatists' pressure: Hari Om | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Mar 3: Accusing pro-autonomy and divisive NC-Congress coalition government of indulging in politics of rabble-rousing and fooling people of the state, Prof Hari Om, Political Advisor to the State BJP President Jugal Kishore Sharma, on Monday. As per press statement, Prof Hari Om said that the state government has gone back on its much-hyped decision on the new administrative units. "The state government will not set up new administrative units to ease the administrative problems of people living in the far-flung areas," he said, and added that it has only hoodwinked and mislead the people and raised false hopes. Prof Hari Om dismissed as ridiculous the oft-repeated claim of the NC-Congress coalition that the creation of new administrative units, including community development blocks, will revolutionize the rural landscape with fund flow increasing manifold and asserted that the state government is not committed to implementing the decision because separatists like Syed Ali Shah Geelani and Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, besides many Kashmir-based Congress leaders and other vested interests in the Valley, are vehemently opposing the government decision. "The implementation of CSC recommendations on new administrative units would have financial implications of Rs 1510.22 crores, including Rs 255.51 crores as revenue (recurring per annum) expenditure and Rs 1254.71 crores as capital (non-recurring) expenditure. The sub divisions (46) would entail an expenditure of Rs 143.52 crores, tehsils (135) Rs 507.60 crores, CD blocks (177) Rs 500.91 crores and niabats (301) Rs 358.19 crores. The new units would require 10,521 staff members, including 358 gazetted officers and 10,163 non gazetted officials. But the state government has kept only an adhoc provision of a paltry sum of Rs five crore in the budget for the next year for the establishment of 659 new administrative units in Jammu & Kashmir. The Finance Department has kept an adhoc budgetary provision of Rs three crore for Revenue Department and Rs two crore for Rural Development Department under the non-plan for the next fiscal for establishment the new administrative units," said Prof Hari Om to support his contention that the state government will not implement its decision on new administrative units. Prof Hari Om urged the people across the state to call the bluff of the NC-Congress coalition government and reassured the people that the BJP would do all that it could to expose the devious politics of the ruling coalition. The BJP will be at the helm under the inspiring, able and effective leadership of Narendra Modi and his regime will surely end the night of discontent and despair of the people of the state and rest of the country, he said, hoping that the people, cutting across party lines, will swing solidly behind the BJP and contribute to its Mission 272+. |
