Jammu: Saying that
many developmental activities have been undertaken in the state
despite several hurdles, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said
Wednesday that he was committed to making Jammu and Kashmir a
model state.
The chief minister was speaking at a rally of the National
Conference party at Marh, on the outskirts of Jammu.
"The historic initiatives, and the achievements on the ground, are
replies to the propagandist elements who cry hoarse to belittle
the work done by the government to ensure peace, equitable
development, economic prosperity, transparency and public
involvement in governance," Omar Abdullah said.
The chief minister, who is also the working president of the
party, said that people are best placed to judge the performance
of the government in the face of numerous difficulties.
"Overcoming problems of different nature, my government steered
the (ship of) state through tumultuous waters," the chief minister
said, adding that the march on the road to progress would continue
with determination.
"With your unstinting support, we will lead you to prosperity and
permanent peace," the chief minister said.
In his speech, Omar Abdullah listed his government's achievements
in various sectors, including irrigation, healthcare, the
construction and maintenance of roads and bridges, agriculture,
education and drinking water, among other things.
The chief minister referred to the Public Service Guarantee Act
and said that by this legislation, his government has ensured
time-bound delivery of 70 important public services, besides
ensuring transparency and reducing the chances of corruption and
malpractice.
"My government gave you authority to demand certain identified
services from the government departments in a fixed timeline, and
if you do not get it in that time frame, the erring official will
be liable for fine, which would be paid to the aggrieved consumer
as compensation for delay in delivering the service," he said,
asking the people to take the fullest advantage of this historic
initiative.
Omar Abdullah said his party symbolised unity, solidarity,
communal harmony and equitable and inclusive development of the
state.
"The National Conference has remained the voice and heartbeat of
the common people and propaganda against this party has always
fallen flat on its detractors and enemies," the chief minister
said.
