SRINAGAR, Oct 17: Days after urging his party patron and Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed to break the alliance with BJP over the beef issue, senior PDP leader and Lok Sabha member from Srinagar Tariq Hameed Karra on Saturday asserted that the coalition had proved to be harmful not only for PDP but also for the whole State.
In an interview to a local newsmagazine, Karra called the PDP-led coalition a failure and claimed that it had failed to deliver on the promises it made to the people.
“If we do an honest appraisal of this government’s performance in the last seven months, nothing seems to be happening on the ground on political, economic and developmental fronts. There seems to be more of rhetorical symbolism in this Government’s functioning than any tangible deliverance on ground,” Karra is reported to have said. According to him, BJP took the PDP for a ride and the right wing RSS made inroads in Kashmir valley with the facilitation of the PDP.
Karra, who functioned as Minister of Finance and Forest in Mufti Mohammad Sayeed’s and Ghulam Nabi Azad's PDP-Congress government, said that an "inherent bias" against the Kashmiris in the Indian bureaucracy was a reason behind the Centre's denial of a financial package to the flood victims of the Valley.
“If New Delhi can reach out to the people affected by natural calamities in Uttarakhand and Nepal with hefty relief and rehabilitation package, what is preventing it from doing so in Kashmir? It seems to be only because of an inherent bias at various levels in New Delhi's establishment,” Karra reportedly said.
Member of the PDP-BJP coalition coordination committee, Karra has not attended a single meeting of the panel as he says he was not part of the arrangement either before the formation of the alliance or thereafter. His sister-in-law Asiya Naqash is currently PDP's MLA from Hazratbal and Minister of State for Health in Mufti's government.
