National Conference today accused the PDP-BJP government in Jammu and Kashmir of plunging the state into unprecedented political uncertainty and expressed anguish over "slow pace" of development.
"The tall claims made during elections and dreams shown by the PDP and BJP to their respective constituencies have fallen flat with people feeling pinch of mis-governance, giving rise to disenchantment and disillusionment," Provincial President Devender Singh Rana said while addressing the party conventions at Doda and Kishtwar.
Rana said the inflated balloon of the PDP-BJP government has deflated even before completion of its hundred days in the office with inherent contradictions between the two, leaving administration in complete disarray.
"The disenchantment and disillusionment among people have crossed all limits which is a reflection on performance of the government," he added.
"The most intriguing aspect of the government is treatment meted out to the flood sufferers and the border dwellers, whose plight was exploited to hilt by the PDP and BJP before, during and after the elections," Rana said.
He said the much-hyped Central assistance continues to remain a distant dream. Whatever paltry assistance is being provided to the sufferers especially the farmers, whose standing crops were completely destroyed has already evoked a huge controversy.
