National Conference today alleged that peace and development have become biggest casualties since the formation of PDP-BJP government in Jammu and Kashmir and cautioned people against the policies of the Mufti Sayeed government.

"The peace and development have become biggest casualties during the past over two-and-half months of visionless policies of the Mufti Sayeed government. People should be cautious against anti-people policies being pursued by the PDP-BJP government," National Conference Provincial President Devender Singh Rana said.

"The era of peace heralded after turbulent 2010 situation is being bruised by raking up controversies with an avowed objective of creating discord between the regions of Kashmir and Jammu for scoring political points," Rana said while addressing several interactive sessions here.
 

He questioned the country-wide campaign of the J-K government, saying on the one hand Jammu and Kashmir is being showcased as a window of opportunity in respect of tourism and on the other a volatile situation has been promoted that may substantially impact the tourist arrivals during the ongoing peak season.

People associated with tourism-cum-pilgrim trade are deeply worried over obtaining scenario, which is going to have a very adverse impact on economic activities in all the three regions, as tourism has been mainstay for decades together, he said.

Rana said the coalition government has miserably failed on all fronts and referred to anti-youth job policy that galvanised educated unemployed and the political class to oppose it unitedly.
