JAMMU, Aug 28: NC working president and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah says day in and day out that his government is an ardent believer in the concept of justice and equity, that it doesn't discriminate between the regions and that it has been treating all the three regions equally at all levels and in all spheres ever since he took over as Chief Minister. He has also been asserting that it is his government that has ended regional disparities and handed over to the people a system of governance which his predecessors failed to hand down.
Like the Chief Minister and other NC Ministers, all the Congress Ministers, without any exception, have been also patting the Government of which they are part and saying what the Chief Minister and other NC ministers have been saying about the nature of governance in the state. Not just the Congress ministers, even the Congress leaders whom the Chief Minister and other NC leaders do not really recognize have also been singing the same song and asserting on a daily basis that the present dispensation is state-centric and not Kashmir-centric and that it has been treating all the people inhabiting different regions of the state equally. Everyone is aware of the nature of relationship between the Chief Minister and the JKPCC chief and other senior Congress leaders.
Both the NC and the Congress have been making false claims. The fact of the matter is that the plight of the people of Jammu Pradesh was never so pathetic and bad as it has been since January 5, 2009, when what could be termed as the anti-Jammu Congress high command handed over the state power to a party which was known for its bias and contempt for the people of this Pradesh. One can refer to here instance after instance to prove this point. But a reference here to just one instance would be enough to lay bare the disparities between the falsehood and ground realities.
The case in point is the recent selection of model villages in the state. Only recently, the NC-Congress coalition government selected 16 villages for upgrading them as model villages. Believe it or not, but it is a hard fact that the state government, which consistently talks about the principle of justice and equity, selected 14 Kashmir villages, as against just two from Jammu Pradesh. Remember, under the centrally-sponsored scheme, an amount of Rs 3.5 crore each is allocated for the development of villages selected as model villages.
It was in 2009 that the coalition government launched the scheme with a view to developing infrastructure of certain villages by earmarking Rs 3.5 crore each. It is the NC-controlled Rural Development department (RDD) which is charged with the duty of identifying villages and developing them as model villages on rotational basis. That the NC-Congress coalition government selected 14 villages from Kashmir and only two from Jammu only proves that when it comes to Jammu Pradesh the coalition government applies the principle of justice and equity in a wrong way.
