Successive regimes neglected interests of Bandipora: Usman Majid

Srinagar, Sep 21: Former Minister and ex- MLA Bandipora, Usman Majid here on Saturday that successive regimes have continuously neglected the political, social, and cultural interests of the Bandipora constituency.

In a statement he expressed the discontent among the people of Bandipora, who have long felt abandoned and marginalized by successive governments especially INC- NC.

Speaking at a public meeting in the Dachigam area of Bandipora constituency, Majid voiced his concerns over the lack of attention Bandipora has received in key areas of development, particularly under the Congress and NC governments.

He emphasised that despite numerous promises made by the INC-NC governments, Bandipora continues to be overlooked in terms of political representation and governance. The constituency, with its strategic importance and vibrant history, has been deprived of its rightful place in the state’s political discourse, Majid added.

Majid lamented the fact that Bandipora has not been given adequate representation at the decision-making table, and as a result, the aspirations and needs of the people have been sidelined. "Our voices are not being heard. The INC-NC, which ruled J&K for decades, has failed to provide us with the opportunities we deserve. Bandipora’s potential has been ignored, and this neglect has severely impacted the district's development," Majid remarked.
