NC and Congress even after having ruled the state right since 1947 have willingly not been able to provide basic amenities like ration, power and clean drinking water to the people of J&K. There is unprecedented power crisis prevailing especially in Kashmir and people are badly suffering in spite of paying hefty power bills. While the ruling National Conference has increased power tariff more than five folds during its rule, the supply of electricity has only worsened during this time. And this power crisis in J&K is primarily because NC leadership always preferred trading state’s water resources to get power chair for the Abdullah family. During the very brief stint of PDP government, we made all out efforts to streamline electricity distribution systems providing some relief to common people. And in future too this power sector shall remain the prime focus of PDP and we will strive to ensure increased power generation and focus on reducing T&D (Transmission and Distribution) losses. We shall also renegotiate the terms of agreement with the NHPC and push for return of Salal, Dulhasti and Uri power projects to the state.
