Early Times Report
Srinagar, May 29: As the PDP-BJP government in Jammu and Kashmir is all set to complete its 100-days in office the BJP is yet to set up its grievance cell where common people and the party workers can go with their issues. BJP ministers remaining inaccessible have added to the woes of people who want their grievances to be redressed.
Sources told Early Times that party had recently asked one of its office bearers to head the grievance cell in Kashmir but he turned down the offer saying, "I am not sure whether our ministers would honour my recommendations are not as there is too much of leg pulling going on within the party."
The BJP Ministers, sources said, have not even got their letter heads printed and if someone approaches them for any help he has to return empty handed as ministers have no letter heads to give a recommendation letter. "It's unfortunate that BJP ministers are not even aware about the basics of public dealing. People returning disappointed from the doors of ministers has triggered resentment in both the regions," they added. ... | |
