Srinagar: Taking a pledge to ensure return of power projects to Jammu and Kashmir, the candidate chosen by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for Central Kashmir Doctor Raja Muzaffar Bhat Saturday said that the issue relating to taking back of power projects from NHPC has never taken seriously by any government in Jammu and Kashmir.
He said that it is a gigantic task to give a challenge to the family rule of Dr Farooq Abdullah. “It may be difficult but at the same time it is possible as well if people stand united with me. It is the same party which is the root cause of the sufferings of Aam Aadmi in Jammu and Kashmir. The natural water resources have been auctioned without any substantial benefit to the common people. Till date, common people are crying for electricity and all our power projects were surrendered to National Hydroelectric Power Corporation,” he said adding that the height of the matter is that Chief Minister Omar Abdullah recently admitted his failure in getting back the power projects and that too from the floor of the House.
