After five years, our leader, Dr Farooq Abdullah and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah will jointly present the report card of our government,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Expressing disappointment over &#8220;selective&#8221; criticism, the Deputy CM questioned why similar scrutiny was missing during the Lieutenant Governor\u2019s administration. \u201cI feel sad and heartbroken when such questions are posed to me and my leader, Omar Abdullah. &#8220;Where were these questions when the LG administration ruled for six years? Why don\u2019t you ask them for a white paper?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Choudhary said that several developmental projects initiated before 2018 have remained incomplete for years. \u201cI went to Hyderpora, where Rs 5 crore was spent on a building in 2016; it is still incomplete. The same is the case in Natipora, where Rs 2 crore was spent on a community hall started in 2018. Even bridges like the one in Ganderbal remain hanging,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Targeting the former BJP-PDP alliance, he said, \u201cSunil Sharma today speaks as if he represents Raj Bhavan. One day, he issues a statement, the next day Mehbooba Mufti echoes it, and then Sajjad Lone repeats the same. Their alliance is still alive \u2014 they all seem to be speaking in one voice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Choudhary assured that the current government would focus on completing all pending projects left unfinished during the previous regimes. \u201cWe are carrying forward a big agenda. After five years, ask us for accountability. We will present our manifesto and our achievements side by side,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Deputy CM also alleged misuse of funds under previous administrations, particularly referencing the industrial sector. \u201cIndustries in Jammu and Kashmir say they received nothing from the Rs 28,000 crore package. Even small shopkeepers claim they didn\u2019t benefit. If the funds were spent, an inquiry must be held to identify where the money went and what lands were allotted,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He further claimed that his security was withdrawn after he raised questions about financial irregularities. \u201cMy motorcade and security were taken away because I spoke the truth. I told them, if you think I need protection, fine; if not, take it away. I am not hungry for security,\u201d he said as per KNO<\/p>\n<p>Choudhary said the NC government is committed to honesty and accountability. \u201cWe are answerable to the people of Jammu and Kashmir who have given us a five-year mandate. We will face them with honesty and results,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Deputy Chief Minister inaugurated the Gandhi Shilp Bazar at Kashmir Haat, Srinagar \u2014 an initiative aimed at showcasing India\u2019s rich handicraft heritage and empowering local artisans<strong>\u2014(KNO)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Raja Syed Rather Srinagar, Oct 16:\u00a0&#8220;The Omar Abdullah-led government has been given a five-year mandate by the people of Jammu and Kashmir, and the administration will face the public with transparency, accountability and proof of its work before the next elections,&#8221;\u00a0Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary\u00a0said\u00a0on Thursday.
