Jammu, Apr 1 (UNI) Union Minister and BJP Candidate for Udhampur Lok Sabha constituency Dr Jitendra Singh on Monday said that UPA government sabotaged national level projects Shahpur-Kandi and Ujh Multi Purpose in district Kathua just to appease their vote bank at the cost of the interest of the important districts like Kathua and Doda and also at the risk of compromising national interests by allowing India’s share of water of River Ravi to flow into Pakistan.
In a series of public meetings in upper hilly reaches of Bani and Billawar in district Kathua, Dr Jitendra Singh said, the most unfortunate part is that for 10 years during UPA rule, this region was represented by Congress MLAs and MPs, who did not raise their voice for the interest of the constituency represented by them respectively because they were more keen to keep their Kashmir-centric masters in good humour.
Dr Jitendra Singh said that some day some historians and analysts will try to find an answer to this question as to why the Congress run governments at the Centre and the erstwhile State of Jammu and Kashmir connived together to keep these two national projects on hold and to allow India’s share of river water to flow into Pakistan.
