PDP’s insensitivity towards flood victims unforgivable: NC

31/10/2014

Srinagar October 30th, 2014: National Conference has castigated PDP for playing a ruthless and self-centered role by showing complete lack of concern towards the flood victims. Senior National Conference Leader and NC Candidate from Uri, Mohammad Shafi Uri has said that PDP's unabashed and shameful hunger for gaining political mileage out of the condition of the flood victims had exposed the party's agenda. Uri said this while addressing supporters and workers of National Conference at various locations in Uri during his five-day extensive campaigning in the constituency.
"National Conference has never shied away from elections and has sustained democracy in J&K at a time when all other political entities went into hiding. Our reason for opposing holding elections right now was that we did not want the State Administration and various departments to lose focus on the Rehabilitation Process for the flood victims. Omar Abdullah made it very clear that he wanted the entire State machinery and administration to treat the rehabilitation of the flood victims as its topmost priority. Unfortunately, as all of you know, PDP ditched and betrayed the flood victims by taking a stand that will go down in history as treachery with a grief-stricken people", Uri said.
Mohammad Shafi Uri, while addressing workers and supporters throughout Uri said that Uri had been grossly neglected as governance had been made a derivative of what your political affiliation is. "Those of you who didn't belong to a certain political camp were deprived of their basic rights of poverty alleviation through schemes like MGNREGA and IAY at the local level. For people of Uri, the very definition of poverty was changed and only those were considered for these schemes who pledged allegiance to a certain political camp - as against to those who were deserving. This gross injustice and selective governance has pushed back Uri by a decade and has robbed all of you of your inalienable right to prosper and grow with the rest of the State. Now, in these elections, we have a chance to save Uri and reclaim our stature and place of dignity and respect along with other areas of the State that have witnessed unprecedented development under Omar Abdullah's dynamic, honest leadership", Uri added.
