Srinagar: Alleging that ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has failed to rehabilitate flood victims, former chief minister and working president of the opposition National Conference Omar Abdullah said the party is only interested in praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The PDP-BJP coalition Government has brought nothing but misery and humiliation for Kashmir, said Omar while addressing an impressive joint convention of NC and Congress workers at Pulwama today.
He said NC and Congress had come together for these parliamentary by-polls with the common goal of thwarting the nefarious designs of the PDP-BJP alliance which is working under an elaborate plan crafted by the RSS to fragment and weaken the State from within.
The joint event was also addressed by Senior Congress Leader and Leader of the Opposition in Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad, PCC Chief and candidate for parliamentary elections from Anantnag seat Ghulam Ahmed Mir and senior party leaders from both the parties.
Yesterday Prime Minister called Chief Minister and asked her if she needed any assistance in dealing with the flood-like situation in the State, he said adding that this was another opportunity where Ms Mehbooba failed to speak up for the 2014 flood victims who are still awaiting relief and rehabilitation from this PDP-BJP Government.
When the previous NC-Congress Government proposed a 44,000 crore relief package to the Central Government, it was this very PDP that said the amount of the package was not enough and that it would propose a better, bigger package. Till today we havent seen any sign of a relief and rehabilitation package from New Delhi and all Ms Mehbooba is focused on is heaping praise on the Prime Minister and the BJP.
He lashed out at the PDP-BJP Government for supervising the alleged mass arrests, harassment and humiliation of youth across the Valley ever since it came into power.
Ms Mehbooba not only watched in silence as our youth with blinded, maimed and gunned down, he alleged.
This alliance has failed on all fronts be it the failure of its hyped agenda of the alliance or on the governance front. Every single promise made by the PDP-BJP Government has proven to be hollow and has been broken within the very first year of the PDP-BJP Alliance. Their government has failed to deliver even basic governance to the people and has plunged the State into disarray, chaos and unemployment. The youth of Kashmir have been fooled by the PDP and abandoned in the midst of a storm that has consumed their lives and devastated their future, Mr Omar alleged.
