Banihal, June 08: Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee chief Vikar Rasool Wani on Thursday said the people of J&K were left at the mercy of bureaucracy which he said “have miserably failed to address their grievances”. He demanded that the holding of assembly elections, followed by the restoration of statehood to J&K, without any further loss of time.
Wani presided over an impressive party workers’ meeting of Banihal Block and received feedback with regard to issues pertaining to common people and also reviewed organisational affairs and activities. He also reviewed the Party’s ongoing public outreach programme in Banihal.
The JKPCC chief in a workers’ meeting of Banihal Block held a wide range of discussions over the organisational affairs and activities while emphasizing them (workers) to ensure that the ongoing public outreach programme is a grand success, besides ensuring an overwhelming participation of common people in the programme, which has been launched to interact with the common masses at grassroots aiming to identify the issues confronting them, a party statement issued here said.
Addressing the meeting, Wani expressed surprise over the “tall claims being made from time to time with regard to development and empowerment of people”. “These (claims) are contrary to the reality, as there is a sea of difference between the claims and the reality. The reality is that the BJP Govt has failed the people of J&K on every count,” he said.
“The fact of the matter is that J&K has been pushed towards backwardness in every respect during the last nine years of misrule by the BJP government, the JKPCC chief said, adding, “Unemployment has risen considerably, people are completely disconnected with the administration for the fact no one is ready to listen to their grievances, there is no accountability and transparency in the administration.”
On this occasion, JKPCC Chief inaugurated a new Block Office near Bus Stand Banihal which is centrally located having easy access to people.
