National Conference leader Mr Ajaz Jan today lashed out at PDP-BJP coalition for anti-poor policies, saying time has come when the people will give them a befitting lesson.
“Mis-governance and developmental paralysis has taken the state backwards and the people were having brunt on all fronts”, Mr Jan said while addressing workers meeting in Poonch this afternoon.

He expressed concern over enhanced rates of essentials and said the ration scale too had been downgraded. This is yet another assault on the poor who are already suffering due to inflation, he added
Mr Jan urged the people to gear up for upcoming panchayat elections and show the coalition partners their right place through their power of ballot.
