The opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Sunday gave a call for
change of regime in Jammu and Kashmir, saying that the National
Conference led-government of Omar Abdullah has failed the people.
"The
change is must and it must happen soon," said PDP patron and former
chief minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed at a rally here to mark the 13th
foundation day of the party. He attacked the NC-led state government, in
which the Congress is a partner. The state assembly elections are due
end of 2014.
The previous PDP-Congress government had implemented its pro-people agenda and set an example of good governance, he claimed.
"I
don't indulge in self praise but the people have themselves realised
that the previous PDP-Congress government had taken radical steps to
solve day-to-day problems of the common masses and to bring transparency
and accountability in the governance", he said.
The former chief
minister reminded the people that it was all due to its sincere efforts
that the previous government had earned credibility among the people.
The
PDP was founded 13 years ago in Srinagar. It had won 16 seats in the
2002 assembly polls but led the first-ever multi-party coalition
government in the state. It raised its tally to 21 in the 2008 polls.
Mufti
Sayeed said that the NC-led coalition regime has undermined the
democratic institutions by not holding the block development council and
district council polls nor has it held the urban bodies polls.
He claimed his party has an agenda for peace and development for the state.
He
said the PDP has bigger agenda to solve internal and external
dimensions of Kashmir problem and also the programmes and policies to
provide basic amenities to the people Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh.
