Senior Congress leader and MLC Abdul Gani Vakil said this in a statement issued here today. “Corrupt ministers, bureaucrats and other high profile people have found this situation apt for looting state exchequer by adopting wrongful means. They are likely to cause irreparable damage to the otherwise clean image of ruling National Conference (NC)-Congress coalition government,” Vakil said.
He called upon Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to remain extremely vigilant and prevent corrupt elements from taking undue advantage of prevailing situation. “Chief Minister has to remain cautious against elements who are hell bent upon damaging credibility of the ruling coalition government. He has to ensure thorough scrutiny of corrupt and inefficient ministers,” Vakil opined.
Stating that time has come for the Chief Minister to take action, Vakil maintained that without concrete action, situation is unlikely to improve. “People are eagerly waiting to see what action government takes against the corrupt and inefficient. They have lots of expectations from the coalition government and it has to fulfill all those,” Vakil added.
He said that Chief Minister Omar Abdullah with the blessings of UPA Chairperson Madam Sonia Gandhi and Prime Minister Dr.Manmohan Singh,
is determined to bridge gap between rural and urban areas on the economic front and carry forward development process to every nook and corner of the state. Vakil said that administration has already been sanitized to be responsible and prompt to the public needs so that development schemes launched are successfully implemented.
H-*e maintained that various developmental schemes have already been put in place in the state in this direction. Vakil said that congress has always stood for the cause of common man and will continue to fight for it especially those living in downtrodden and far flung areas. He appealed people to strengthen the party at all levels.
Calling upon people to maintain communal harmony, Vakil cautioned them against the divisive forces. “Our leaders have laid down their lives for the unity of country and we shall not fall prey to these forces,” added Vakil. Asserting that strengthening of coalition government was the need of the hour, Vakil sought cooperation of the masses for effective implementation of the developmental schemes.
