SRINAGAR: (May 16) National Conference chief Farooq Abdullah on Thursday said it is “unrealistic” to expect his party-led government, formed last year, to bring overnight transformation in Jammu and Kashmir as the “developmental setbacks” of the last decade cannot be reversed instantly.
Addressing a gathering at the Reshi Gund area of Kralpora in north Kashmir’s Kupwara district, the former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister said the Omar Abdullah-led government has ushered in a transformative era of governance marked by the importance of active citizen engagement in shaping effective governance.
“The government’s mandate spans five years, and it is unrealistic to expect a newly formed administration to transform the region overnight. The developmental setbacks our region has endured over the past decade cannot be reversed in mere moments; there is no magic solution,” Abdullah said. PTI
