In the weekly segment of Talk show, YoungBites correspondent Vikas Gupta interacted with Mr Raman Bhalla, Vice President Congress. Here are the excerpts: VG: Tell us something about your political carrier? RB: In the year 1979, I was an active member of Student Union. I was Gen Secretary in Youth Congress. After that I became MLA from Gandhi Nagar Constituency in 2002 and 2008. VG: What all you have to say on current coalition government? RB: The current PDP and BJP govt. is a match fixing Govt. Amarnath Yatra has been reduced from 100 days to just 40 days. Only 2% seats are allotted to Jammu while 18% seats are allotted to Srinagar. There have been no Panchayat elections as well as MP elections in Srinagar. VG: Do you think that the current govt. has fulfilled all the promises it had done with the general public? RB: The current govt. is playing u-turn politics. All the decisions are being taken from Delhi. Before the current govt. was formed, it was said that Srinagar and Jammu will have an equal number of seats. But the present govt. took a u-turn. The govt. could not make an artificial lake for the people of Jammu. Tenders were open for the Gandola but nothing has been done till date. Refugees were to be allotted 5-5 marlas plots but nothing has been done in practicality. VG: Lot of money is being spent on the security of Separatists leaders in Kashmir. What all you have to say on this? RB: The current govt. is bent before the separatists leaders. They can’t send the separatists leaders to Pakistan. The ISI flags in Kashmir are a gift of current BJP-PDP govt. I do not know why the govt. is silent on the issue of stone pelters. VG: What is your view on AIIMS? RB: Jammu AIIMS is far from reality. The current govt. ha not even laid the foundation stone of Jammu AIIMS. VG: Why is the PDP govt. delaying the GST implementation? RB: We are not against GST. But the govt. wants some amendment. Govt, knows that if GST is implemented, then people of Srinagar will also have to face GST.
