| SMC netas wash dirty linen in public, knock Raj Bhawan doors | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, May 16: Accusing each other of corruption, two politicians from rival political parties, both of whom are elected representatives and hold prominent positions at the Srinagar Municipal Corporation have been abusing each other in public gaze including the social media.
Interestingly both have sought the intervention of the Raj Bhawan seeking probe into allegations of corruption against each other.
Accusing his senior at the SMC of exploiting the civic body for personal gains, the deputy while sharing official documents has said about the opponent: ”His idea to defunct the actual committees which completed their tenure by 18-Jan-2022 are still the same as they don’t yield him any personal benefit… This is ridicule; what would we expect from such ‘leaders’ who can go to any extent just to line his pocket. It’s really disheartening pondering over his fishy matters.”
The other person, who holds even bigger position at the civic body said: “Thief out on BAIL on multiple cases of fraud, embezzlement and being caught “red-handed” accepting bribes up to an amount of 1.5 crores in his bank account by @JKACB continues to sit on a public official chair and brazenly malign the administration.”
Some corporators said the politician who talks about the J&K Anti Corruption Bureau himself faces a complaint of scam totaling to around Rs 45 Crore at the JK ACB alone.
“How can he forget that that he is the kingpin in multi crore scams right since the Covid when a central agency had started inquiry into the wrongdoings,” said a delegation of corporators on the condition of anonymity.
Recently the elected body members had locked horns over the new parking fee in Srinagar. Prior to that, one of the elected representatives at the SMC enjoying a key chair had purportedly called a government official “gunda”. The said politician had called himself “Maha Gunda” over a dispute linked to Kashmir Pandit property.
Despite repeated attempts the “warring factions” couldn’t be contacted for comments. But a senior official confirmed about the infighting.
Changes in recruitment system ended corruption, nepotism: PM Modi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi asserted on Tuesday that changes brought in by his government in the recruitment system have ended the possibility of corruption and nepotism as he gave away appointment letters to over 71,000 people at a ‘Rozgar Mela’. From applying for government jobs to the announcement of results, the entire process has been made online, he said while elaborating on employment opportunities and infrastructure development ushered by the BJP dispensation at the Centre in the last nine years.
“The possibility of corruption and nepotism in recruitment for government jobs has now ended,” Modi said.
He referred to his recent meetings with CEOs of leading global companies, including Walmart, Apple, Foxconn and Cisco, to assert that there is “unprecedented positivity” about industry and investment in the country.
The prime minister cited EPFO net payroll figures to say that over 4.5 crore people have got jobs since 2018-19 as formal employment has been growing.
FDI and the country’s record export have been creating employment opportunities in every corner of India, he said, noting that the nature of jobs has also been changing with his government constantly supporting the emerging sectors.
The country has seen a revolution in the start-up sector and their numbers have risen to nearly a lakh from a few hundred before 2014, the year the BJP came to power at the Centre, he said, adding that they are estimated to have provided a minimum 10 lakh jobs.
Citing development figures in the last one year, he said the length of rural roads has risen to 7.25-lakh km from 4-lakh km while the number of airports has gone up from 74 to nearly 150.
Construction of over 4 crore pucca houses under a government housing scheme for the poor has also created a lot of employment opportunities, Modi said.
He also said that the number of universities has grown to 1,100 from around 720 in 2014 while there are now 700 medical colleges against 400 earlier. |
