PDP, BJP looking for alibis: Rana

SRINAGAR

National Conference leader Devender Singh Rana on Friday asked the PDP and BJP as to why they were not forming the government despite entering into a pact.

“Are they finding it embarrassing to admit before the people and convince them on joining hands to form the government after indulging in fierce attacks against each other”, Rana questioned, saying their deception is boomeranging as the people have started asking about unexplainable bonhomie on the face of hitting each other below the belt over the years, especially ahead of the elections”.

Rana was addressing party functionaries at Sher-e-Kashmir Bhavan this afternoon.

He said the two parties got so much entangled in creating hype over the issues of Article 370, uniform civil code, revocation of Armed Forces Special Powers Act and dialogue with Pakistan for resolving Kashmir issue that they have become deaf and dumb now as to how to retract from rhetoric. Such sloganeering might have helped them in polarizing the situation and gaining votes but how to convince the people remains a big stumbling block for them, he added.

“We can understand the dilemma of the two parties, which till recently took to fierce public posturing for the sake of votes and used choicest invectives against each other”, Rana said adding that now they were finding it really difficult to justify sharing the loaves of power. In the process, he said the delay has led Jammu and Kashmir to worst and unprecedented political uncertainty with people feeling sadistically let down.

“The people of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh are politically sagacious, who cannot be taken for a ride by offering alibis and excuses”, Mr Rana said and added that the political stalemate has virtually paralysed the administration with bureaucracy remaining in forced inertia due to lack of direction. Though the Governor’s administration is putting a brave front in meeting the urges of the people yet the temporary nature of the arrangement makes all these efforts ineffective at ground zero. He said the political parties mandated by the people are taking verdict very casually and acting in an irresponsible manner. He accused both the parties of trampling democratic spirit and putting people into avoidable difficult situation.
