National Conference govt should focus on governance now: BJP

Jammu, Jan 14: BJP today said that National Conference (NC) government should focus on governance now after fresh assurance by Prime Minister Narendra Modi

Addressing a press conference, Arun Gupta, Spokesperson, J&K BJP, said, “After the assurance by Prime Minister, now the NC government should shift its focus on the governance in J&Kutilising the development advancements made here by the Union government, instead of raking up emotional issues like statehood for political mileage.”

He added that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has once again assured that all the promises made to J&K will be fulfilled. Gupta said some of the promises have been already kept and the rest will be kept at the right time.

“NC leadership should start focusing on effective and result-oriented governance by the J&K government and stop talking only about promises made including statehood by the Union government,” said Gupta.

He added that for the last three months, nothing has been accomplished by the present NC govt which has more than 35 departments under their jurisdiction.

Arun Gupta said that it is high time that the NC government should understand that singly repeating one subject alone cannot do justice to the aspirations and expectations of the citizens of Jammu & Kashmir. Citizens also expect the NC government to fulfill the promises made to people during elections and cannot escape by only repeating at the cost of repetition, he said.
