Opposition PDP today accused Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah of failure alleging that the National Conference-led government has pushed people of the state into an "anarchic and distressing situation".
"The present government's formal arrival in J-K in 2009 has brought with it worst kind of atrocious miseries for the people...There is a complete chaos all around with acute scarcity of rations hitting almost every part of the state," PDP president Mehbooba Mufti said in a statement here.
She said "the power position is deteriorating day by day, drinking water supply has become scarce, treasuries running dry, pensioners are being denied pension, contractors crying for payments, daily-wagers and consolidated workers pleading for their wages, people being made hostage on roads for hours together due to horrific traffic jams and so on and so forth."
Dubbing the present government as a "misfortune" for the state, the PDP leader said the people of the state seem to have become the victims of the "ungoverned rage let loose on them by the NC-Congress coalition."
"The present government seems to have no regard even for religious occasions of great significance like Eid so that it could have ensured basic minimum necessities like rations, drinking water, power supply, pension and wages for its workers for the upcoming festival," she said and asked the CM to "wake up from the slumber and do some justice with the high office he is holding".
The PDP president said the people have already started running out of patience with this "nonstarter" government as their miseries are multiplying with each passing day.
"Ironically, Omar has kept himself too busy in making hilarious noises on issues that mostly fall out of his domain," she said, adding "the Chief Minister seems to be resorting to such histrionics only to hide his countless failures on the home turf.
