Opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti today said the people of Jammu and Kashmir are fed up with the "non-performance, mis-governance and corruption" of the state government and the ruling establishment "lacks credibility".
"The only achievement of the present coalition is its survival merely on the strength of numbers in the assembly and external lifelines otherwise people are fed up with its non-performance, mis-governance and corruption," Mufti said addressing a meeting of party workers in Beerwa constituency.
The present government lacks credibility that is a pre-requisite for any efficient governance system, she said.
"The credibility of a government comes through its leadership, vision, agenda and its execution and the present government lacks all these vital elements," Mufti said.
The National Conference (NC) had for decades existed as the only option for people who had not been able to experience difference in governance and delivery, but the emergence of PDP and its brief stint in power had exposed people to a new experience, she said.
"It is a matter of satisfaction for us that the people are looking up to PDP with great expectations. But, at the same time it gives us very overwhelming feeling of challenge as the state is faced with immense problems on political and development fronts," she said.
