Congress today accused the BJP-PDP coalition government of having a mutual understanding to rake up controversies to divert the attention of the people from their failure to provide a credible government in the state.

"The BJP-PDP coalition government is creating controversies as per their match fixing strategy in order to keep the people engaged and to divert the attention of people from the utter failure of the government in the state," JKPCC chief Ghulam Ahmed Mir said while addressing a party function in Samba district.

Mir alleged that the BJP-PDP government was exploiting the people by generating controversies in order to keep the people engaged in different conflicts and to divert their attention from the governance deficit and their failure to fulfill the promises made by them during Lok Sabha and Assembly elections.
 

Expressing concern on the overall situation created by the "policies of exploitation" by the coalition partners, the JKPCC Chief said that the present coalition government has "vitiated the atmosphere of peace and harmony due to their inherent contradictions".

He said that Congress would continue to play the role of a unifying force being a secular and progressive political force having strong base in all three regions of the state.

He expressed confidence that Congress will stage a comeback in the Leh Hill Council Elections.
