Srinagar, Oct: A day after Leader of Opposition Sunil Kumar Sharma slammed National Conference over governance and human rights, Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Kumar Choudhary on Thursday called him a “lollipop leader.”
Speaking to reporters, Choudhary described him as a lollipop leader. “If you conduct his narco test, he would even demand statehood,” he said.
He said the flood-affected people of Jammu have been left in lurch by BJP. “You ask the LoP leader, you should ask the lollipop leader-he talks every day and blames us. Jammu province was devastated by floods. The same Jammu province that gave you 28 seats. Houses were destroyed, crops ruined, roads washed away, and people lost their savings and jewellery for weddings. Have you (BJP) paid them compensation? They don’t dare to venture among the people and only speak to media,” he said.
He further said that the Leader of Opposition (LoP) should ensure the Transaction of Business Rules file is cleared by the Lieutenant Governor. “The business file was cleared by the cabinet long ago. You should get it approved,” he added.
He said that Mehbooba Mufti is speaking BJP’s language and was responsible for destroying the special status of J&K.
“You should listen to Mehbooba Mufti’s speech yesterday’s speech-she was speaking the language of the LoP. The BJP-PDP alliance is still intact,” he said, adding that the people of Jammu and Kashmir would never forgive Mehbooba Mufti for destroying the region’s special status—(KNO)
