Claims of Good Governance Index for J&K are not matching with ground realities: CPI(M)

Srinagar : While reacting to releasing of District Good Governance Index (DGGI) for J&K, CPI(M) leader Mohammad Yousuf Tarigami on Saturday said that claims of good governance and development in J&K is far from ground realities.
In a statement issued here on Saturday Tarigami said that one of the principle fundamentals of good governance is participation and representation of people ,a right which continues to be denied to the people of J&K.
He said that releasing such indexes is intended only to help the government in optics wise.
“However, ground reality of dilapidated roads, erratic power supply, inaccessibility of portable water combined with huge unemployment, social unrest is reflecting contrasting picture. For good governance accountability is the key for that ensuring freedom of press, freedom of expression and association is paramount,” CPI(M) leader said.
“The government must at the first instance restore the rights of the people which unfortunately are being denied to them,” he added
