STC NEWS MONITORING DESK
SRINAGAR, FEBRUARY 28 (STC):
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has formed a group comprising of senior MLAs to closely examine performance of different departments and question their functioning within and outside the Assembly.
In other words, the group has been formed to keep a close watch on the performance of the J&K’s National Conference-led government.
A local news agency Kashmir News Observer (KNO) quoting relaible sources has reported this.
The report states: “The party has tasked senior MLAs, who served as ministers in the previous PDP-BJP government, to closely monitor departments assigned to them for assembly interventions and other issues.”
It has also been reported, quoting sources, that the leader of opposition Sunil Sharma has played a key role in the formation of the “shadow cabinet.
Sources privy to the development, as per the reports, have disclosed that the party has assigned different departments to its senior MLAs to lead the assessment and challenge the ministers holding them within and outside the Assembly.

“This move will enhance the party’s role in scrutinising government actions and policies. It would also help us in effectively raising public issues within and outside the Assembly,” reports KNO quoting a former BJP minister, who is part of the group. (STC)
