Claiming that the Mehbooba Mufti-led government has failed in all fronts including security and power sectors, Congress today said that its "casual attitude" is responsible for such a situation.
While the incidents of militancy are up in Kashmir during this government's rule, there are virtually dozens of protests by the people in Jammu region against unscheduled power and water supply cuts, Senior Vice President Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) Sham Lal Sharma said .
The Congress leader was on a visit to Udhampur and Ramban districts during which he was further informed that people were undergoing hardships due to non supply of ration for the last six months.
He said the government is not serious to the issues of the people especially those living in far-flung areas.
Sharma assured the Congress leaders of the respective areas that the issues raised by them will be taken up at appropriate level soon.
"In case these demands aren't sorted out by the government, Congress will go on large scale protest against the BJP-PDP coalition government for their lackadaisical attitude", he said.
