J&K Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) president GA Mir on Thursday hit out at the state government for allegedly adopting lackadaisical attitude towards the people living in far off places, especially backward classes.
Mir said people were being denied their basic rights in order to benefit blue-eyed and ruling party workers under the garb of the implementation of the Centrally sponsored schemes, which were being misused terribly. He alleged that the party was watching the indifferent attitude of the ruling dispensation towards the wellbeing and the genuine concerns of the poor and backward classes in the state.
Mir said this after his extensive tour of the upper reaches of Dooru Shahbad in Anantnag district, a party spokesman said. During his tour, he observed that people were confronted with difficult situations in every respect, for the fact, the state government had miserably failed to mitigate their sufferings. Mir said various Centrally sponsored schemes rather than benefitting people, especially poor and backward classes, were being misused to benefit the ruling political class and their blue-eyed professional contractors.
He expressed serious concern over the dilapidated condition of roads, lack of medical facilities, no development in upper reaches and no road connectivity at various places etc, which has made the lives of people miserable.
