Srinagar, Jun 20: Senior Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Khalid Jehangir on Friday said the people of Jammu and Kashmir have greater faith in Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha than in Chief Minister Omar Abdullah.
In a statement issued here, Jehangir said, “The Chief Minister needs to be reminded that youth are watching him and have lost trust in the fake promises which he had made to them.”
On the other hand, the BJP leader said, LG Sinha has been “leading from the front” and is ensuring that genuine grievances of people are redressed and their demands are met.
“LG Sinha has worked hard to fulfil the promises and commitments that were made to the youth,” he added.
Praising the Lieutenant Governor for ensuring that “no one goes unheard”, Jehangir said, “The grievance redressal systems put in place by his administration have kept the officials accessible to common people 24×7.”
The BJP leader said that before the assembly polls, Omar Abdullah had made tall claims. “However, after assuming power, he has stopped talking about the pledges he had taken,” he said.
Jehangir lauded LG Sinha for “making everyone accountable” in the administration and streamlining the system.
