Jammu | Oct 16
Launching an indirect attack against the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad accused the leaders of his coalition partner of blocking the developmental decisions.
Addressing a public meeting at Verinag in South Kashmir, the Chief Minister said that he did not believe in hollow sloganeering or negative politics but had his mind focused on development works and infrastructure building. He said he believed in work and not in hoodwinking people through false and unachievable dreams. He said during the last two years, his government had taken up hundreds of important development works in schools, hospitals, power and roads sectors across the State and exuded confidence that in the coming year before the assembly elections a new chapter of development would have been written in the history of Jammu & Kashmir.
The Chief Minister announced relocation of security forces from the famous Verinag Garden and the source of Kashmir's main river, Jhelum. He also inspected the newly constructed accommodation comprising four double storey barracks, mess and administrative block about 1.5 kms from the Garden and said that the relocation would be started from today and completed within a fortnight. He praised the security forces for their role in the restoration of normalcy in the State despite challenging situation.
The Chief Minister said that certain forces were active in the State who did not want people of Jammu & Kashmir to progress and develop. He said these were the forces who were people's real enemies. He said by handing over guns to the youth the State was pushed several decades behind in matters of development, besides razing infrastructure worth thousands of crores of rupees. He said these people want masses to remain economically deprived so that they could make them play to their tunes.
The Chief Minister also cautioned people against those whose 24x7 pastime was vote politics. He said the public representatives were elected to serve the people and not to make money or assets. He said people's welfare and not personal aggrandizement should be our objective. He described the party workers as catalysts of change and asked them to work for eradication of ills like corruption from the society.
The Chief Minister made a special reference of the Mughal Road and said for years there was only talk of the construction of the road but no forward movement. He said within six months of assuming office, his government started construction of the road and completed 60 kms, 30 each from Shopian and Poonch side within one year. He said the remaining 24 kms would be completed within next year under his stewardship, adding that the road link would shorten distance between the two divisions of the State. |
