Accusing the PDP-BJP coalition government of "failing" on all fronts, the state Congress today said it will "collapse" any time soon.

"Where is the government, it does not exist anywhere, it's the coalition between few people who joined hands for the lust of power. Though we want this government to complete its tenure, but it will collapse at any time," Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) president Ghulam Ahmed Mir told reporters while speaking on the sidelines of a party function here.

He said that the PDP-BJP which had made several promises to the people of the state before coming to power has proved to be a damp squib after coming to power.
 

"They have failed to fulfil even a single promise they had made with the people," Mir said.

He accused the government of being embroiled in controversies, "They are more embroiled in controversies rather than focusing on providing governance to the people.

Mir also said that the state and the central government had failed to address the woes of the people who lost everything in last year's devastating floods.

"Compare what the UPA government gave to the victims in Uttrakhand and the earthquake victims of Kashmir, but this government has rubbed salt on the wounds of the flood victims," he said.

While referring to the meagre relief of Rs 37 given to the farmers in the state, he said that the relief has exposed the government and the people of the state were fed up with the hollow promises of it.
