Baramulla,June 15, (Scoop News)- Vice President J&K Congress, Former Minister and Member AICC Mr. Abdul Gani Vakil today reiterated that congress party will contest coming assembly elections on its own as Pre-Poll alliance with NC proved disastrous for both the parties. He said if Pre-Poll alliance would have not been forged between these two parties in Lok sabah elections the result would have been different because there was no wave or mood of people to support or vote in favour of PDP but there was no strong other alternative where the people would have expressed their anger against mis-governance and corruption. Mr. Vakil was addressing party workers convention at Doabgah in District Baramulla.
While addressing the gathering Mr. Vakil said Congress is capable of facing electorate on its own performance, friendly policies for every section of society and historical developmental spree started by Ghulam Nabi Azad during his regime will be a backbone for it. He said people are interested in one party rule in order to avoid uncertainty. He said that everyone is now fed up of sentimental slogans and are purely interested in the development and a corruption free society. He said Congress will work hard ensure that the congress party can form the next government on its own so that menace of corruption is uprooted and the system could be set right. He said that Congress never endorsed double standards or hollow sloganeering for voting consideration but believe in tangible actions for the betterment and uplift of poor, downtrodden, needy people and this vision of Congress party is reflected in NREGA, Right to Free & Compulsory Education, opening of new Anganwari Centres, launching of various financial assistance schemes in the state.
Former Minister said that it is unfortunate that the present central Government led by BJP is mulling to curtail the liberal financial assistance that J&K used to receive during UPA regime. He said liberal plan allocation is mandatory for development of State as it has bearing on restoration of peace here. He said that if funding for Asha Workers, Anganwari Centres and other CSS Welfare and other schemes is halted our party will launch a campaign against it. He said that if there is slight diversion of Kashmir policy adopted by UPA regime it will be disastrous for the State of J&K on the economic front and at the same time it will not be in the interest of the Country as well.
Two resolutions were unanimously passed in the convention in which it was appealed to the CM not to make any further delay in regularizing the services of Dailywagers and SPO’s as both have contributed a lot in helping the State come out of red. He said their cases must be processed and finalized in time bound manner. In the second resolution strong concern was expressed over the carelessness of the State government for not providing irrigation facilities for the to the farmers. If the present position continues there will be no expectation of mushroom growth of paddy crops it was strongly demanded that government should initiate steps to irrigate the paddy crop.
Besides others who addressed the gathering include Sr. Congress leaders Ghulam Nabi Shah, Haji Mohammad Afzal Khan, Pandit Brij Nath Nehru, Sheikh Bashir Ahmad and several others.
