PDP leader said that no state in the country would barter its resources in such a reckless manner as was done by successive NC governments.

Addressing a function to felicitate newly elected Sarpanches and Panches, Mehbooba Mufti lambasted government for adopting lackluster approach towards burning problems of the farmers. Pointing towards hardship being faced by farming community, she shifted blamed on the state government for the non-availability of water and worst ever power crises.
She said that the successive NC regimes have brazenly bartered J&K’s natural resources for the lust of power. She further pointed towards non-availability of water in the canals especially in the tail ends due to failure of the government to properly conduct de-silting of the canals. She further regretted that despite repeated demands of the farmers, government has failed to provide seeds and fertilizers in time.
She assured that PDP would effectively take up their issues and force the government to minimize the hardship being faced by the farming community. She further assured that PDP is committed to the opening of Sialkote-Suchetgarh road. Pointing towards failure of the state government, PDP chief said that almost five months have passed but the government is yet to get the annual plan approved by the union government.
