Early Times Report
Jammu, Jan 28-The leader of the BJP Legislators Party, Prof. Chaman Lal Gupta, has welcomed the commitment of the Jammu and Kashmir Finance Minister, A R Rather, to soon implement the recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission but felt that much would depend upon the outcome of the proposed meeting of the State officers team with the Planning Commission as there is little in the kitty of the State.
Commenting upon the inheritance of financial mess in the State, Prof. Gupta said the Finance Minister has confirmed the charges of the BJP that much of the funds secured from the Centre, have been misused and the matter should be probed by some independent agency to fix the responsibility and measure to check the wrought.
The BJP leader in a statement here today said lakhs of crores have been provided by the Centre to Jammu and Kashmir for welfare of the people of the State during the past over 60 years but it was unfortunate that the slogans of development and Khushali have proved hollow to the extent that the State was not is position even to pay the salaries and wages of its employees and the dependence is ever increasing at the Centre.
He recalled that during last year the Finance Minister had revealed in his Budget speech that RS. 87,000 crores have been spent by the coalition of the Congress-PDP and that of other since 2002, onwards but the statement of new Finance Minister about inheritance of financial mess is quite meaningful which needed deep probing.
Prof. Gupta observed that many problems confronting this State were the outcome of misuse of Central funds and unrealistic approach opted by the Congress led UPA at the Centre and stressed for remedial measures.
