Jammu, Aug 21: Aam Aadmi Party J&K on Monday said political leaders of many states including Jammu & Kashmir are day-in and day out promising free electricity, quality education, quality health services and free potable water to citizens on Delhi pattern as the ‘Delhi model of governance’ has become a talk of town now.
Senior AAP leaders in J&K, Farooq Ahmed Banday, Kuldeep Kumar Rao, S. Ravinder Singh, Sarpanch and Amit Langer, according to a party statement interacted with people and were “excited to find the intent of change in the minds of people who looked very interested in the development on Delhi pattern”.
The AAP leaders said the party has taken its birth to the service of the common man, the workers, labourers, farmers and the exploited class of society. They congratulated Delhi and Punjab people for their “wisdom and foresightedness” of voting Kejriwal to serve them.
“Kejriwal’s visionary pro-people politics and programs revolutionised and galvanised the Delhi UT and has given a new concept of governance in politics i.e. governance to serve and not to rule,” they said, adding that Delhi type of governance is a death blow to communalism and hate policy of certain political parties.
The same facilities can be introduced in J&K too if voted to power, the AAP leaders assured. They expressed wonder as to “how Delhi Government led by Kejriwal, having no source to generate a single unit of electricity, is providing free uninterrupted power to the public up to 200 units, but the present dispensation here in J&K, instead of meeting the requirement of the local population is providing around 80% of power to the Northern grid for distribution among northern states out of around 2250 megawatts of electricity through Salal, Baghliar and Dul-Hasti Mega power projects of the Jammu region, showing utter bankruptcy of sensitiveness, sincerity and judicial wisdom”.
The AAP leaders cautioned the people of J&K to “read between the lines and be prepared to throw away the anti-farmer, anti-poor, anti-youth and anti-labour government at the helm of affairs”.
