Hitting out at the Omar Abdullah government for wasting nearly 6 years, opposition PDP today said instead of giving a report card of its achievements, NC was making more promises.
"Omar has wasted nearly 6 years of his rule in J&K. Instead of making fresh announcements, the chief minster should have been giving the report card of his achievements," PDP patron Mufti Mohammed Sayeed said, addressing a function where JD(U)'s Jammu unit offered to support Yashpal Sharma, PDP candidate from Jammu for the Lok Sabha elections.
Sayeed said there was a clear "wave of anger against the ruling (NC-Congress) coalition" in the state, which was making announcements in panic.
"His (Omar's) inability to give an account of his performance is understandable as this government has only scams, scandals, misgovernance and corruption to its credit," he said.
The NC-led government is visionless in its approach and that is why it has not been able to work for the benefit of people, he said, taking aim at NC's manifesto ahead of the 2008 assembly elections.
Sayeed picked holes in that manifesto, saying the party failed to fulfill its promises especially regarding autonomy to the state and removal of AFSPA, and was trying to fool the people again.
