Srinagar: People are facing the brunt of the wrong policies pursued by the coalition government, who are pursuing their personal and party goals and have consigned people’s issues to the back burner. This conduct has ruined the socio-economic and political atmosphere in the State.†This was stated by Mr. Muzaffar Shah, Senior Vice President Awami National Conference while ad
dressing the party workers Convention at Sherwani Hall Baramulla, today. He said that the time has come when the people should differentiate between the right leadership and those who deceive the people with their false promises and pursue only one point agenda of furthering their own political and economic prospects. The need of the hour is to rise upto such an occasion and reject such forces to save the state from further mayhem, corruption, loot, nepotism and destruction, He said.Â
Having witnessed the working of the coalition government the people should least expect any welfare or solace from it. Both the parties run at the whims of the Central Government, which weakens them day in and day out. Previously PDP also withdrew its crutches from the then coalition which fell un sung.
