| Coalition’s achievement list is bundle of lies: Mehbooba | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Jan 7: In his first public observation to one year performance of National Conference-Congress regime, the opposition Peoples Democratic Party president Mehbooba Mufti today said that the much publicized list of achievements is just a bundle of lies.
Terming much publicized one year achievements of National Conference led coalition regime as bundle of lies, PDP chief cautioned the people against gimmicks of the ruling party. “National Conference has once against raked up the issue of autonomy to divert peoples’ attention towards its failure”, she observed, adding, “during the last one year government’s pronouncements remained confined only to press statements and photo sessions so the National Conference has played the card of Saghir Committee report to hoodwink the common masses to hide its failure”. She said that Saghir Committee report was incomplete and it was submitted only to befool the people. Mehbooba was speaking at a party rally here today.
She further said that National Conference has been using Saghir Committee report to sabotage the “quiet diplomacy” process initiated by the Government of India to involve all shades of people in the dialogue process.
“People of Jammu and Kashmir are very much aware of the gimmicks of National Conference”, she said, reminded the people about fate of autonomy report when it was handed over the then NDA regime. “Had National Conference sincere on autonomy the party would come out of the NDA at that time when the report was thrown to the dustbin by then Union Government in which National Conference was also an important constituent”, she reminded, adding, “instead of coming out of the government, NC leaders remained in the NDA just for the lust of power”.
PDP chief regretted that ruling National Conference has failed to learn lesson from its previous failure. “The six year term from 1996 to 2002 has been considered as worst ever period in the political history of Jammu and Kashmir”, she said and pointed out that the present dispensation has been repeating the same mistakes which were committed by the party earlier.
Ridiculing claims of ruling National Conference to started development projects in the State Ms Mufti pointed out that instead of doing some productive works this regime has been staking claims on those projects which were started during the regime of Mufti Mohammad Sayed. “Be it the opening of routes across the LoC trade, opening of Muzaffarabad road, construction of Mughal road or establishment of Baba Ghulam Shah Badshah Univesity National Conference leadership has been brazenly trying to put them in their own account”, she pointed out.
Ms Mufti asked Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh to hand over hydro electric power projects being managed by the NHPC to the State. “Residents of our State have been confronting with acute power crises but the energy generated in the State is supplied to other parts”, she pointed out and stressed on the need of handing over all hydro electric projects to the State to solve this problem once for all. She further demanded renegotiation of agreements with NHPC regarding construction of new power projects in the State.
“State has suffered huge loss due to discriminatory agreements signed by the then National Conference regime with the NHPC in the year 2002 against a paltry royality of just 12 percent electricity and it is need of the hour to renegotiate new projects”, she observed and added that job avenues would be created for locals if the projects handed over the State.
