J&K polls: Omar Abdullah hits back at Congress over 'neglect of backward areas' remark

Ramban (J&K): Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today hit back at Congress for its statment on “neglect” of backward areas in the state, saying the party should scan its functioning rather than finding

Exuding confidence that his National Conference will retain power in Jammu and Kashmir, Omar said “day-dreaming by PDP” and BJP's “Mission 44+ drama” will end up in oblivion. 

“Day-dreaming by PDP and BJP's Mission 44+ drama will end up in oblivion,” Omar said here, adding that no government is possible in the state without the participation of NC.  

He said NC kept away from forming government in 2002 on its own decision otherwise it was in a position to form the government for being the largest party in the Assembly. 

Omar today addressed public meetings at Hall and Shamthi in Ramban Assembly constituency in favour of party nominee Chaman Lal Bhagat.

The chief minister alleged that PDP was “spreading falsehood and baseless propaganda while the BJP was staging drama to create illusion and confusion among the voters”.  

He said people of Jammu and Kashmir are wiser enough to read between the lines and understand the designs of these parties to create artificial hype for misleading public.  

He said the so-called poll analysis and predictions have nothing do with ground reality and the reality is that the National Conference is going to win the elections comfortably. 

Omar criticised the detractors of National Conference for circulating false propaganda against it and its government.  

“By unleashing baseless misinformation campaign and covering the ground realities political parties like PDP want to belittle the huge achievements registered by the NC-led government in the state during the last over six years,” he said and appealed to the people to remain cautious against the vested interests and stand united against them.  

“Those who tell you that this government has not done anything, ask them who constructed over 18,000 km of roads, 300 major bridges, hundreds of hospitals and health units, over a thousand schools, colleges, universities, technical institutions and ITIs,” he told the gathering.  

Omar said his government made new strides in development sectors and enacted legislations to bring transparency and curb the chances of corruption.
