Jammu, Oct 6: The so-called vision document of BJP titled "Hamare Sapno Ka Jammu Kashmir", (J&K of our dreams) which was released before assembly elections of 2014 is badly haunting the state leadership that miserably failed to translate even a handful of promises they made before coming to power.
The promises made in the document were neither formulated by the opposition parties nor were imposed on BJP by any party, but it was formulated by the party leadership as per their own preferences and their capabilities. But a little glance at the document exposes that the state is in the same situation from where it had started in 2014.
