BJP MPs, according to the sources, have complained to party high command that BJP ministers are "incompetent" and have failed to live upto the expectations of the common masses in Jammu region, and they (MPs) should be given a chance to pull up the officials to streamline the functioning of the various government departments in the Jammu region.
Sources claimed that despite the BJP ministers staging protest, MPs have succeeded in persuading the party high command to let them review the functioning of the government departments. The MPs trying to act as bosses has not gone well with the ministers.

Yesterday also two PDD employees died under same circumstances at Pargwal and even today two more employees got injured at same place," sources quoted BJP MPs as having told the PDD officials. "This is sheer negligence and won't be tolerated," the MPs said.
