| Omar accuses PDP regime of having ‘plundered’ central funds | | | Early Times Report
Jammu Feb 25: The Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today accused PDP of having ‘plundered’ the funds that came from Centre under different heads during their tenure in the erstwhile coalition regime. He said the previous government has left certain plugs and loopholes on every front in finance and planning which has left his government struggling to recover only debts even as he has managed to get huge plansize from Centre.
“The then Finance and Planning Minister would often boast of his competence on financial matters……but I wonder where and how the funds have disappeared”, Omar said while replying on motion of thanks on Governor’s address citing various heads under which the funds came from the Union government during previous coalition period.However, he chose not to mention the name of the minister.
Giving details Omar said Rs 691 cr came under PMRP Rs 397 cr came under National Calamity Relief fund , nearly Rs 400 cr came under various centrally sponsored schemes and for many other purposes, accounting cumulatively an amount of Rs 2004 cr. “ Paisa Kahan Gaya Mujhey Pata Nahin Hai…..Is Riyasat Ko loota Hi Nahi Barbaad Kiya Gaya Hai and Ab Yeh Karza Mujhe Chukana Hai…..( I don’t know where the money has gone but it is for sure the state has been plundrerd and devastated……...This is the liability they have left on me as I my government has to recover the amount )”, the Chief Minister said adding that it is these non accountable acts that have brought the state to verge of begging.
He also criticized Congress for having chosen to show magnanimity in respect of giving two vital departments like Finance and Planning for for entire tenure during their alliance in the previous regime with PDP. The chief minister said even as his government wants to construct new hospitals, schools and colleges, they are unable to spend the whole amount because of these lapses made by the previous regime.”But even under given circumstances I would mean business and do justice with the people of the state”, he asserted, adding that his government is sure that new policies on containing unemployment and other measures aimed to provide succour to people would prove fruitful.
