Srinagar: People’s Conference president Sajad Gani Lone on Thursday said the tenure of the National Conference-led Jammu and Kashmir government has been a “saga of betrayal” and claimed that 2025 was a “year of lies”.
The Handwara MLA accused the government of perpetrating the “most cruel and useless” rule in the history of the state.
Lone said, in a statement, the election promises of the ruling party were a calculated deception and alleged that instead of the promised free 200 units of electricity, residents in non-metered areas have been slapped with a 50 percent hike in tariffs.
“The promise of 12 gas cylinders has vanished, and the pledge of one lakh jobs has morphed into a ‘major outsourcing scam’, where permanent government posts are being auctioned off to private companies to exploit the youth,” Lone alleged.
He said that the administration has reduced governance to a mere “transfer industry” and ignored the crumbling state of essential services.
