“BJP used to say that they will provide 24hrs power supply to people here, PM and several senior leaders of BJP paid visits here.
“They vowed to give electricity to people 24×7 and water to everyone, still they’re beating drums of providing these two things.
“But the ground reality in J-K is that there is a chaos here as there is no water, electricity, people are not even getting water to drink.
“This is the situation here even if one go to villages & towns the plight is worse.
“The people in rural areas are forced to walk long distances to fetch water from ponds, rivers.
“Rain water are being stored by them for their daily use. But still the govt is unshaken by the sufferings of people and is making excuses by lying that they have provided water to everybody.
“You have left people on their own and they’re furious about electricity, bills and poor are being oppressed if they fail to give power dues.
“They cut their connections. This is a big question to this regime that they’re now standing nowhere close to their agendas of 24hrs power supply.
“Now they are celebrating their 9 years of outstanding rule, I will it is as people have never faced such problems in any govt.
“The present regime has destroyed rural education here as they have transferred all the govt teachers in cities from villages.
“There is an uproar amongst villagers here because there are no teachers left in hinterland schools to teach their children.
“When people demanded teachers in schools in villages they were provided 4 teachers for high schools, 2 teachers for middle schools and only 1 in primary schools.
“Then the future of children will be at stake this govt don’t want kids to be educated & schools have been deprived of teachers.
“There is a conspiracy to deprive rural schools of educators. What’s going on in J&K as schools are getting closed there are no teachers.
“Wine shops are being opened in large numbers and people agitated against it, in order to provide benefits to their people the authorities opened liquor shops without even noticing temples, schools in the vicinity.
“People are in anger against this. They have snatched lands from people in villages razed their properties and bulldozed shops of locals.
“People have been taking care of their lands and by cancelling their girdawaris their sole source of earning income have been taken away.
“How the govt can conduct elections here as they know that they have no stand left here, people are hopeless, vexed.
“BJP don’t want elections here because they have kept people in darkness and they have been deprived of their basic rights.
“They know that they will get erased from J&K as on what basis they will hold elections here” he alleged.
