"Propaganda or no propaganda, action speaks louder than words and our work on both development and peace fronts is before the people to judge us," he told a public rally at Batpora in south Kashmir's Shopian district.
The Chief Minister said promises made by his government for "holistic and equitable development" was showing "visible and conspicuous" impact on ground across the state.
He said "progressive and prosperous" Jammu and Kashmir is the target of his dispensation and every area is being focused in the development policy.
Omar said the benefits of restoration of peace were being extended to all areas in the shape of development and public empowerment.
He said his government was keen on shifting the power seat from secretariat to grass root level public representatives so that they are involved in decision making and implementation of development schemes.
Omar said establishment of Panchayat Raj and transfer of powers to panchayats is an important step in this direction.
"We have empowered panchayats amply. We have sensitised administration in this regard. We have provided both funds and authority to these institutions. Now, it is their duty to act and act in the interest of general public," he said.
The Chief Minister said the three-tier Panchayat Raj system will be in place by the end of this year.
Omar was in Shopian to lay the foundation of a mini- secretariat in the district to be constructed at a cost of Rs 36.97 crore.
