| Doctor’s Prescription: Put House In Order | | ‘PM pulled up Congress leaders for inertia, internal bickering’ | |
ET REPORTER
Jammu, July 16: A day after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh made a significant trip to this winter capital city, reports of the ‘doctor’s’ prescription to the Congress leaders have started pouring out.
Sources who were privy to the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s meeting with the Congress party leaders said that the visiting leader was not quite happy with the performance, attitude and organisational behaviour of the party leaders in Jammu and Kashmir. Political analysts believe that there was nothing on the occasion which could have upset the Prime Minister but he had specific inputs about the bickering in the ranks of Congress unit of J&K.
However, the Prime Minister, sources said, was quite appreciative of the Chief Minister and conveyed to the partymen that sincerity of Azad’s efforts was not reaching to the public due to lack of activity and cohesion among the party leaders. “The Prime Minister Manmohan Singh expressed his unhappiness over bickerings in Jammu and Kashmir's Congress unit and directed the leadership to ensure propagation of development work and policies of the party-led state and central governments among the people”, said a Congress source who attended the meeting.
Singh's displeasure came close on the heels of Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Gulam Nabi Azad's chiding state Cong leaders, including its ministers, in Srinagar meeting last week for the failure to organise rallies and propagate the achievements and policies of state and central governments.
The Prime Minister told them that "instead of pulling in different directions, you should strengthen the party among the people by undertaking grass root level work about the achievements of the state government". The Prime Minister said the state party leadership has been unable to project the state government's and the party should get ready for the coming assembly elections and engage itself in doing the ground work.
The Prime Minister also told them the peace process in Jammu and Kashmir as well as with Pakistan is going on and at the state level Roundtables were followed by working group meetings and the process is on for implementation of the groups'' reports.
