| Politics of favoritism divides people in Bhaderwah | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Nov 12: Not only other previous state governments but last coalition regime, which divorced in a dramatic way few months back, too have done gross favoritism in several issues related to development. Since decades the practices of favoring influential and ignoring poor particularly villagers have now become a routine in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, which has already suffered due to militancy.
But also it cannot be denied that people in villages have not been provided anything during the past 61 years after the independence of the country. If not drinking water, electricity, Medicare facilities and veterinary aid, they were provided with many facilities verbally, which exists nowhere. In fact people are still dreaming to get those things which were assured by different political parties in the past particularly during the election campaign, which instead of educating the people towards progress and unity, has been limited and confined by the politicians, just to befool, blackmail and divide for their petty political gains.
The biggest example of favoritism, leaving other troubled areas of the state aside, could be seen in the hometown of ever popular Chief Minister in terms of ‘development’ slogans of Ghulam Nabi Azad. How ironic would be it to know that two villages comprising of 30 families each, divided by a Nullah and have just one and a half km distance, are discriminated worst ever by one and all repented the constituency which is known world wide as ‘Chotta Kashmir’.
To break the suspense and bring the truth in-front of every-one, it must be disclosed that a village in Bhaderwah constituency called Butla which falls under the jurisdiction of Sartengal, Bhaderwah has 30 families both Muslims and Hindus including several families of Scheduled Caste (SCs). Yes those SCs for whose development and upliftment, the largest Constitution of the world has special provisions but how regrettable is to see and hear this that these SCs in this village are ignored even today, when a man from black race is President of US.
The story of these ‘exploited villagers’ goes like this--An Anganwadi centre was opened earlier in a village probably keeping in view the population of SCs which functioned for two years but sooner the same centre was shifted by using political influence to Chabba, which too is inhibited by 30 families. The move invited public reaction and later another Anganwadi Centre was sanctioned but that too met with the same fate and was shifted to Chabba, due to the politics of favoritism, which is strengthening the discrimination with villagers across the Bhaderwah constituency.
This story of these hapless villagers does not end here, when centrally sponsored scheme, Serva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) was being implemented in the state with and objective to provide education facilities at the door steps of villagers, Butla villagers were again ignored and the SSA centre was provided to Chabba village. With such actions of the governments in power, eligible unemployed youth are worst affected which adds more to the unemployment issue. But this time people living in villages, particularly of Bhaderwah constituency, have started and would continue asking mainstream political parties that what they have done for them.
If the dream of black race could materialize in Obama as President of United States America (US) then why the people of villages could not change their fate and liberate their generations to come from the imposed leaderships of those, who even did not bother to interact directly with the voters this time (as these can not spare few movements)…when a single voter has great importance for them…. imagine what should be and could be expected from these leaders.
Talking to ET reporter, an Independent candidate, contesting from Bhaderwah constituency lamented, “We were hearing that during the coalition regime, lot of development took place but one can see after visiting these villages that what development of villages has been done, they were just slogans,” he lamented. |
