LG’s address without any new political, social, or economic initiative, says MLA Sajad Lone

SRINAGAR, MARCH 03 (STC): MLA Handwara Sajad Lone in his post on X platform has called the Lieutenant Governor’s address in J&K Assembly today bearing no distinction from what a BJP-led government speech would have been.
Sajad Lone’s X post reads: “The Governor’s address is indistinguishable from a possible BJP speech, had they been in power. There seems to be total ideological overlap. No mention, not even remotely, of Article 370, Article 35A. No mention of August 5, 2019. No mention of the Reorganisation Act. It seems the NC government has finally done away even with ornamentalism. They don’t even want to pretend they have anything to do with Article 370.”
Reflecting on the election campaign, Lone added: “I remember how during the election campaign it was all about Article 370 and how all others are BJP. And now, the ideological overlap. What a comedown.”
Expressing disappointment over the address lacking any concrete vision, he further stated, “If this address was a vision statement of the government, it is as visionless as it can get. It is a generalised departmental statement without any new political, social, or economic initiative. So be prepared for an aimless, visionless spell of governance, bereft of any newness in approach or any creativity.”
He alleged that the government would function in a bureaucrat-driven manner, similar to the previous administration. (STC)
