Mandate not utilised as governance in J&K falters: MP Gulam Ali Khatana

Srinagar, Mar 2: Senior BJP leader and Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha Nominated), Er Gulam Ali Khatana on Monday mounted a sharp critique of governance during an extensive outreach tour of Rajouri, alleging misuse of public mandate and systemic failure in service delivery.

As per a press release, MP Khatana accused the present dispensation led by the National Conference of failing to convert promises into outcomes. “Governance must be judged by delivery, not declarations,” he said, calling for accountability and responsiveness from the administration.

During the public hearing, residents flagged a host of pressing issues across sectors such as health,  education and civic services. Reiterating the commitment of the Bharatiya Janata Party, MP Khatana said the party has consistently prioritised inclusive development and people-centric governance. “From health and education to infrastructure and employment, our policies are aimed at empowerment and justice for all,” he asserted, contrasting BJP’s track record with what he termed the NC’s unfulfilled promises and mismanagement of public resources in Rajouri and across J&K.

Assuring residents of follow-up action, MP Khatana said all grievances would be taken up with the concerned departments and pressed for time-bound, result-oriented solutions. He reaffirmed BJP’s commitment to fairness, transparency and last-mile delivery, pledging that development would reach every village and hamlet of Rajouri.
