SRINAGAR: Peoples Democratic Party leader Haseeb Drabu has said that Jammu and Kashmir today needs more than ever before not just change of governance but political, economic and social transformation to usher into an era of durable peace and inclusive prosperity.
Addressing a series of public gatherings during his mass contact programme in various remote areas of Rajpora constituency, wherefrom he is seeking maiden mandate for the Legislative Assembly, Drabu said the people of the State in general and the youth in particular are looking up towards PDP with great hope and expectations to put up a responsive political structure, productive economic setup and supportive social fabric. Our endeavor would be to respond to and mitigate the complex problems of the state, faced as it is with decades long political uncertainty, development deficit, unfulfilled aspirations, mounting unemployment, corruption, nepotism and favoritism, he said and added that if the party gets the peoples mandate in the upcoming Assembly polls, it would strive towards accomplishing the unfinished agenda of resolution and development set off by the PDP-led coalition government in 2002.
Dispelling the notion that J&K was a financially dependent state, Drabu according to CNS said there are no limits to the States economic potential and in addition to its rich water and mineral resources, the brand name Kashmir has many dimensions be it tourism, art, handicrafts, forests or agricultural and horticultural products. He said PDPs vision of a peaceful, stable and prosperous Jammu & Kashmir outlined in its Self-Rule document is essentially about neutralizing the historical political and economic excesses with the State that were compounded by its natural and political geography.
