He said the misrule and mis-governance by PDP BJP have vitiated the atmosphere in the valley since they assumed power, all the good work done by previous Govts have gone waste, people in all the three regions have been made to suffer on economic and developmental fronts due to the opportunistic politics on the part of PDP BJP, Mir said The developmental scenario started by the UPA I UPA II in the State has come to standstill due to negligent attitude and contradiction in the approach of PDP BJP, resulting in all the three regions have suffered immensely on developmental front.

Mir expressed grave concern over the decision of withdrawing Security to protected persons on the brink of Parliamentary Elections and described the decision as very unfortunate move to scuttle the movement of political activists. The order passed by Raj Bhawan regarding scrapping of the security withdrawal order is nowhere visible on the ground, which is indicative of the lack of concern with regard to security of political leaders on the part of State and Centre Govt, Mir added and condemned both State & Centre Govt for being insensitive about the safety of Political Leaders in JK.
