Srinagar May 13 (Reporter) Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP) Chairman Ghulam Nabi Azad on Monday described National Conference and Peoples Democratic Party as products of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). “The lack of tangible progress under the NC and PDP regimes, asserting that they have little to show beyond empty promises and hollow slogans”, Azad said while addressing a rally at Pahalgam in South Kashmir on Monday. Azad termed both NC and PDP as the products of BJP. He recalled their histories of forming governments in coalition with the BJP and questioned their commitment to genuine development. The DPAP Chairman criticized their failure to effectively address issues of development and governance, instead focusing on political posturing. The former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister condemned the MPs of both parties for their alleged failure to vocally oppose the revocation of Article 370 in Parliament, accusing them of betraying the trust of the people they represent. He said, "Let me clarify, it was not me who served as a Minister in the BJP government; it was Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti. Omar Abdullah enjoyed six years of Chief Ministership, courtesy of my support and that of my MLAs”. Azad said however, his tenure was marred by failure, pushing Kashmir backwards into a cycle of violence and stagnation instead of progress. The people of Kashmir are well aware of their rule, and they will not be fooled again. “Today, the people are suffering due to the skyrocketing electricity tariff. We must address these pressing issues and prioritize the welfare of the people over political gamesmanship”, he said. The former CM said, "I have a track record of delivering tangible results. I established a medical college in Anantnag, Kulgam district, and even in Ganderbal, where the NC traditionally held sway, I prioritized development. My agenda has always been centered on progress and development. I have never misled the people; I speak the truth and stand by my convictions. My commitment to the welfare and advancement of the people remains unwavering." Azad criticized Government's Governance, pledges to prioritize People's Needs and strongly criticized the current government's failure to effectively govern, particularly in managing the complexities of such a sensitive state and garnering the support of the people. He emphasized the need to win the hearts of the people through genuine engagement and responsive governance. Azad outlined key priorities for his party, stating that if they were to form the government, their focus would be on addressing the pressing needs of the people, such as job creation, development initiatives, and ensuring reliable electricity and power supply as crucial areas for attention. He said, "If we are entrusted with forming the government, our foremost priority will be to win the hearts of the Kashmiri people, who have long felt alienated. We are committed to providing opportunities through job creation, business schemes, and implementing developmental projects”...////...
