PDP wearing dark glasses, sees only dark: Omar

Jammu: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah Wednesday lashed out at opposition People’s Democratic Party for shutting eyes to the “revolutionary initiatives and considerable achievements” registered by the coalition government during the last three years

“Despite many attempts made to disturb law and order and peace in the Valley and other parts of the State by certain elements utilizing different untoward incidents, the people understood the designs of these elements and rejected them totally”, he said while addressing a gathering of Panches and Sarpanches here.
“Those who are raising hoarse cry on availability of power could not even help generate a single MW during their tenure. Those who have covered their eyes with black glasses only see dark,” he said.
The Chief Minister said that “a peaceful 2011” helped in registering large number of tourists in the State. “About 13 lakh tourists visited the Valley, 6.37 yatris visited Shri Amarnath Ji and over one crore pilgrims visited Mata Vaishno Devi, ” he said, expressing hope that 2012 would also be a “year of peace and development in the State.”
Omar Abdullah lauded the efforts of PDD, R&B, PHE, CAPD, BECON, National Power Grid Corporation and other agencies and individuals who worked tirelessly in “biting cold to restore the public services that were severely damaged by the recent heavy snowfall in the Valley and Jammu areas.”
“I was overseeing the operation and showing my solidarity with them,” he said adding that they actually worked in most difficult conditions and restored the services.
on the occasion, Minister for Rural Development, Law and Justice, Ali Mohammad Sagar said accused the PDP leadership of resorting to propaganda against the coalition government
“These people are jealous of the significant work culture put in place by the coalition and historic achievements registered to ameliorate the lot of masses,” he said.
“During their (PDP) tenure they could not even transfer one service to panchayats and urban local bodies and made these non-entity units,” Sagar alleged.(KMW News)
