| Coalition government failed to deliver: NC | | Khushaal Kashmir a mere slogan : Omar | | Early Times Reporter
Lakhanpur | Feb 19
Omar Abdullah, President National Conference has said that the much hyped promise of "Khushaal Kashmir" doled out by the coalition government has remained just a hollow promise because of the ruling coalition's failure to deliver. Omar who started his state wide mass contact programme here today, said in 2002 the coalition government came to power on the basis of tall promises but unfortunately the state government in the last five and half years has not been able to perform and live upto the expectations of the people. The total breakdown of administrative machinery during the coalition rule and rampant corruption has taken the state backwards.
Omar said there is an unprecedented rise in corruption and the corruption is in the highest echelon of the administration and political setup. He said it is the state's misfortune that it is being governed by a tainted political setup which is not working for the welfare of the people of the state.
Omar said the youth of Jammu and Kashmir are disheartened and disillusioned because the government has not been able to provide any employment avenues and nor has it been able to come out with an economic policy which could address the problem of unemployment in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Omar said National Conference, if voted to power will come out with a comprehensive economic policy which will delineate an economic structure which will provide for adequate employment for the people of the state. He said the National Conference does not believe in hollow sloganeering and as such would not make any false promises but the socio-economic political agenda which the party will give in the run up to the elections, the party shall ensure that it is backed up by a competent delivery mechanism so that their benefit reaches to the grass root level.
National Conference President said the PDP and the Congress are indulging in petty politicking by dividing the people of the state on the basis of region, religion, caste and ethnicity, but National Conference will not allow any political party or group to divide the people of the state for its own political ends and shall work as a force to strengthen the traditional bonds of brotherhood and goodwill among the various groups of people within the state.
Omar expressed his concern over the increasing prices and lack of availability of essential commodities in the far flung areas of the state of Jammu and Kashmir and said that the Public Distribution System which was devised to facilitate price control and easy availability of essential commodities has failed in the state and thereby needs urgent attention.
Omar expressed his anguish over the coalition government's lack of will to address the problems of the people of Kandi belt and border areas of Kathua District which lack in basic amenities despite their tall promises about their different plans funded by the Government of India for the welfare of the people living in these areas.
