| PDP to focus on political, development, unemployment issues: Mehbooba | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, Aug 23: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president, Mehbooba Mufti has said though Gulmarg-Tanmarg constituency has the potential of becoming one of the economic power houses of the state on the strength of its tourism potential alone, but lack of development in the area has resulted in immense problems of infrastructure and amenities for its residents.
During an extensive tour of the constituency in which she visited more than 30 villages, Mehbooba said there was hardly any visible sign of development in the area with the people complaining of lack of drinking water, irrigation facilities, power deficit, scarcity of ration and very poor condition of most of the internal roads. She was told that none of the hundred odd villages in Tangmarg assembly constituency has filtered water supply available to it.
While thanking the people, who had come out in large numbers to greet and listen to her, for having voted for the PDP candidate, Muzzafar Husain Baig in the recent Lok Sabha elections, Mehbooba said her party treats itself as accountable to the people for its performance.
She said the party is coming up with a manifesto that apart from addressing the political issues facing the state will try to focus on development issues and the severe unemployment problems.
Mehbooba said horticulture, agriculture, energy development and tourism is the thrust area of PDP's development agenda.
She said the National Conference and Congress had ignored development and employment generation and linked their political survival to either hollow slogans or election time gimmicks which it is practicing at present. "PDP will strive for generation of remunerative and respectable employment opportunities so that our youth don't have to fall victim to the false promises and fake appointment orders," she added. |
