SRINAGAR: The lone communist legislator in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) on Monday revealed that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led Indian Government at the centre was making the Omar Abdullah-led government “ineffective” so that it can not deliver and people remain unhappy with the government.
The Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPIM) leader and MLA from Kulgam, Muhammad Yousuf Tarigami, told reporters in Srinagar that the real power lies with Delhi and “unfortunately the people of Jammu and Kashmir are punished”.
“BJP wants to make the JK government ineffective so that it can not deliver and people remain unhappy with the government. In my opinion, it is detrimental to the Constitution of the country. The government gave assurance in the Supreme Court that statehood will be restored; now they are delaying it and punishing the people of Jammu and Kashmir,” Tarigami said.
He said the government will work as per its authority and mandate, but the BJP is trying to disarm the government here, which completed its six months. “They are not allowed to work. The government is being disempowered, and there are apprehensions that it will be disempowered more by the BJP. BJP does not like the mandate (of 2024 assembly elections). And in the future, there is at least a possibility that the BJP will respect the mandate but will rather disempower it more,” he said.
