Asserting that Jammu and Kashmir was the victim of wrong policies of Centre and previous State Govt of PDP BJP which came into the existence after betraying people for votes, the J&K Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) President Ghulam Ahmad Mir lashed out at Centre government over being insensitive towards the agony of the people.

JKPCC President said that people were feeling that Centre want’s to continue to rule the state through Raj Bhawan and take some important policy decisions in absence of the State Legislature, urging upon the center Govt to clear the doubts, brewing in the hearts and minds of people.
On the one hand the Narinder Modi Govt was claiming that it would address the developmental issues confronting state, on war footing basis, but on the other hand it’s approach towards the State was very unfortunate, people were being denied their right to elect their representatives by way of elections, which is not only unfortunate but very serious rather anguishing for the people of JK.
Mir urged the Centre Govt to restore the confidence of the people and ensure that elections to State Legislative Assembly were held in order to give the people their own Govt, which could listen & address their issues without running from pillar to post.
Adding that Congress party initiated an incredible process of development in JK, many projects were completed and many were in the pipeline, but the previous PDP BJP Coalition has undone every achievement of the Congress Party, the fact of the matter, was that the people were pushed to wall due to the contradiction & unfriendly approach of the then State Govt, besides that the Centre Govt has added miseries to people by adopting callous attitude
Mir also said that Congress Party will make concerted efforts to make the Centre and Guv administration accountable and answerable to people to ensure resolution of the problems confronting state and people.
Referring to the local problems of the people in Kapran Dooru and other far flung areas in JK, G.A. Mir said people in Shahabad Balla Panchayat Halqas were being forced to pay 350 as electric fee some have been asked to pay Rs. 535, which is unaffordable and beyond their financial limits, earlier these poor people having been paying Rs. 108 per month as electric fees, now they have to pay Rs. 350 and 535 against using on bulb in their homes, which will be distressing for them.
