| PDP-BJP alliance passport of peace, economic prosperity for state | | |  Early Times Report
Udhampur, Sept 11: Chief Minister Mufti Mohammed Sayeed today said the ruling PDP-BJP alliance was the "passport" of peace and economic prosperity for the state.
The Chief Minister promised the people of a new dawn in the state, saying that the objective of forging an alliance with BJP was to bring in equitable and balanced development of all the three regions of the state.
Sayeed said that he saw an opportunity for peace and development for entire JK by coming together with BJP, which had won people's mandate in Jammu, just like PDP did in Kashmir.
"I joined hands with Prime Minister Narendra Modi to bring people from Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh together with their fellow countrymen and to end the politics of uncertainty," he said.
Sayeed was addressing a convention of People's Democratic Party workers in Udhampur district.
He said that the fractured mandate in 2014 polls was by far the biggest challenge for him and his party in which he saw a new hope and an opportunity for reconciliation in JK.
"Our tie up with the BJP did not happen in a day. It was not a knee-jerk reaction. We discussed in detail all critical issues for nearly two months and arrived at an agenda of alliance, which is the passport to peace and economic prosperity of the state," he added.
On the occasion, the chief minister announced setting up of a new nursing college, an amusement park and development of revered Devika temple as a tourist and pilgrim spot at Udhampur.
Describing road connectivity as the real indicator of progress and development, the Chief Minister said the government was mobilising institutional financing for road sector under normal Capital Expenditure Plan and Central schemes to annihilate distances.
He said that under Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY), 660 km road-length, including 290 km in Udhampur, will be constructed, macadamised in Jammu province at a cost of Rs 721 crore while under CRF, Rs 552 crore will be spent for construction, up-gradation and macadamisation of roads.
"Monsoon season has ended and the roads will match the quality we maintained between 2002 and 2005 with funds availed from the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
"We have also made contractors accountable by bringing in a provision of 'Defect Liability Period' that binds them to maintain all roads for a period of three years," he added. |
