Jammu, Oct 4, KNT: BJP national general secretary and party in-charge for Jammu and Kashmir, Tarun Chugh, has lashed out at Chief Minister Omar Abdullah over his recent remarks concerning Ladakh, accusing him of deflecting attention from his government’s failures in Jammu and Kashmir.
Chugh said Omar Abdullah, instead of commenting on Ladakh’s political affairs, should concentrate on resolving the mounting problems faced by the people of Jammu and Kashmir. “Omar Abdullah has failed to fulfill the promises he made before the elections. Rather than diverting attention by speaking about Ladakh, he should focus on addressing the issues that continue to trouble the people of J&K,” Chugh told reporters.
The BJP leader alleged that the present government under Omar Abdullah has not met public expectations, particularly on matters related to employment, infrastructure, and governance. “The Chief Minister must realize that hollow rhetoric cannot substitute for real progress. People of Jammu and Kashmir are demanding accountability, not excuses,” he said.

Chugh further claimed that the ruling dispensation in Jammu and Kashmir has failed to provide transparent administration and equitable development. He said that despite repeated assurances from the Chief Minister, many key public welfare projects remain either incomplete or delayed, causing frustration among locals.

“Instead of indulging in political commentary on Ladakh, Omar Abdullah should work to ensure good governance, stability, and peace in his own state. The people of J&K have waited long enough for the fulfillment of his commitments,” Chugh remarked.
He accused Omar of resorting to “diversionary politics” to mask the shortcomings of his administration. “Whenever faced with criticism, Omar tries to shift the narrative away from his failures. But people are now more aware and want results on the ground,” he added.
The BJP leader reiterated his party’s commitment to ensuring overall growth and integration of Jammu, Kashmir, and Ladakh, saying the central government has been consistent in promoting equal opportunities for all regions since 2019. “While Omar Abdullah speaks of divisions, it is under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership that development has reached even the remotest corners,” Chugh said.
He also urged the Chief Minister to focus on strengthening democratic institutions and addressing pressing issues such as unemployment, poor infrastructure, and administrative inefficiency. “People need practical solutions, not political theatrics,” he emphasized. [KNT]
