NC takes jibe at PM, says package for Bihar, nothing for J&K

Opposition National Conference today described as "big disappointment" the first six months rule of PDP-BJP coalition in Jammu and Kashmir, saying the "north-pole and south-pole" government has created more confusion than providing a semblance of governance.
The party also attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his announcement of Rs 1.25 lakh crore central package for poll-bound Bihar, saying he announced a "huge" package for Bihar but nothing for Jammu and Kashmir.
Taking jibe at the state government for creating hype of over Rs 75,000 to Rs 1 lakh crore central package for Jammu and Kashmir, NC provincial President Devender Singh Rana said "the Prime Minister has bestowed the favour of huge package to Bihar because of ensuing assembly elections while the State continues to wait. There was package for Bihar but nothing for J&K".

He claimed that genesis of governmental failure was due to the illusions with which the coalition partners were living and said this has adversely affected the governance.
"First six-months of PDP-BJP coalition as a big disappointment. The North-Pole South-Pole government has created more confusion than providing a semblance of governance," Rana said.
He alleged that development had taken nose dive, utility services were craving for attention, flood victims were looking towards minimum possible help while the people in general were suffering due to accumulated problems.

"The half-yearly performance of this anti-people and anti- youth government can be summed up in just two words as 'dismal failure'," Rana said while addressing a rally in the border area of Kalakote.

The border town observed a complete shutdown in support of the protest rally as the local Beopar Mandal (trader's bodies) expressed complete solidarity with the cause of highlighting peoples' woes as a result of malfunctioning of the government.
Rana also cautioned the people against the machinations of PDP-BJP government in weakening Article 35A, a constitutional guarantee based on the vision and far-sight of the Maharaja, who never wanted the bonafide interests of the people of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh to get trampled.
