| CM's bias against Jammu continues | | Remains indifferent to deaths, devastation | | Early Times Report JAMMU, Sept 4: The Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah has done it again. He has again publicly displayed his biased behavior and attitude towards Jammu region. With more than 14 deaths in the Jammu region and more than 50 feared dead in a bus accident, Omar had confined himself to the Kashmir region. The Chief Minister Omar Abdullah is supervising the rescue operation in Kashmir, which too has suffered heavy loss because of the rains, but the death toll there is much less than in the Jammu region. Jammu region is geographically much vast and much diverse than the Kashmir region. The infrastructure development in remote areas are virtually non-existant and a pale shadow to its counterpart in the Kashmir. With so many deaths having taken place in the last two days, the people of the Jammu, who are also equal citizens of the State, expected the political head of the State to be with them in this hour or crisis and despair. However, they have been disappointed like in the past also. The Chief Minister had just two-day back decided to visit border areas affected by the recent firing, where two people had died and thousands were uprooted. The CM choose to visit after more than 10-day when things had settled. And that too after head of every political party be it BJP or PDP had made their visit to interact with the affected parties and showed their concern. It's what is expected of the political parites. Last year also in almost this time of the year, the CM had taken the tour of the border areas, when they were hit by firing from across the border. CM is doing it rather deliberately but at its own. He has now decided to concentrate in the Kashmir region hoping that he may be able to save his sinking NC, but his this kind of public display of pitching one region against the other is likely to affect the performance of the party, which already had been reduced to just about 10 assembly segments out of the 47 in the Kashmir, as per the results of the recent parliamentary elections by the PDP, which is already on the ascend. |
