Surinder Choudhary at the National Conference Party Headquarters, Gandhi Nagar, Jammu, in the presence of Adv. Rattan Lal Gupta, Provincial President, Jammu.
The deputations apprised the Deputy Chief Minister of various issues and demands concerning their respective areas. Sh. Surinder Choudhary gave a patient hearing to the deputations and assured them that their genuine grievances would be addressed. He also issued necessary directions to the concerned authorities for taking appropriate action and resolving the issues at the earliest.
Talking to media persons later, the Deputy Chief Minister justified the 6.83 per cent increase in electricity tariff, stating that the revision was necessary in view of the prevailing circumstances and requirements of the power sector. He pointed out that electricity tariffs had witnessed an increase of 28.5 per cent during 2017ā2022, when the PDP-BJP coalition and subsequently the LG administration were in power in J&K.
Sh. Choudhary accused the BJP of misleading the people of Jammu by allegedly fabricating stories and creating negative narratives against the democratically elected Omar Abdullah-led government. He said that instead of raising genuine public issues and contributing constructively, the BJP was resorting to political theatrics.
Referring to the BJP's recent activities on the security situation in Srinagar, the Deputy Chief Minister said that the BJP believed more in ādramebazi and nautankiā than in addressing the real concerns of the people.
He said the Omar Abdullah-led government was committed to addressing public grievances, strengthening development and ensuring that the genuine demands of the people of Jammu and Kashmir were given due consideration.
Adv. Rattan Lal Gupta reiterated that the National Conference would continue to remain accessible to the people and would take up their genuine issues with the government at every appropriate forum.
