Jammu, Nov 3 || National Conference (NC) President and former J&K Chief Minister, Dr Farooq Abdullah, on Monday accused Lt Governor, Manoj Sinha, of delaying files concerning public welfare and development.
Talking to reporters here, Dr Abdullah said: "L-G Sinha is sitting on files and stalling our government’s work. He should act as a partner of both the government and the people. If the administration turns into a hurdle rather than a facilitator, how can progress take place? The L-G must realise that he represents the aspirations of the people, not just the bureaucracy."
"Good governance and development depend on close coordination between elected representatives and the administration. Unnecessary delays and bureaucratic stagnation are detrimental to public welfare," he said.
"Governance is not about paperwork gathering dust; it is about delivering service to the people on the ground," Dr Abdullah added.
The octogenarian leader called for regional unity and reiterated that Jammu and Kashmir had always been, and would continue to remain, one entity.
