JAMMU, Jan 8: National Conference Additional General Secretary and Former Minister, Ajay Kumar Sadhotra today exuded confidence that the Omar Abdullah led government will bring an end to the decade-long development and administrative inertia perpetrated under the BJP directly and indirectly in Jammu and Kashmir.

Sadhotra referred to the major initiatives taken by the previous Omar Abdullah-led government during the past few months, emphasizing that National Conference remains committed to the welfare and development of the both the regions and their sub regions. He assured the people that the new government will address their grievances and steer Jammu and Kashmir toward progress and prosperity.

He highlighted the hardships faced by the people due to the lack of basic amenities such as water and electricity, rising unemployment, and overall economic deprivation.
National Conference Additional General Secretary particularly pointed out the snail pace of the much-publicized Smart City Project, calling it a "nightmare" that left citizens disillusioned". People are left wondering what the Smart City Project was all about. It brought no tangible benefits, only roads and streets ruined and basic amenities receiving main brunt," he remarked.
Sadhotra accused the BJP of creating divisions among the people in the name of religion and region, adding they had no substantial agenda to offer.
"The BJP stands exposed for its anti-people and anti-Jammu & Kashmir policies," he said, adding that the degraded state is facing grave challenge from divisive forces that were working overtime to generate hatred among religious communities and drift between the regions.
