Nepotism even in the scandals of Gupkars: Anurag Thakur

Shri Anurag Singh Thakur, Union Minister of State for Finance and Corporate Affairs, in-charge of Jammu and Kashmir DDC elections, has stated that Gupkar alliance only worked to hand over power to their generations and even practiced nepotism in scandals.

Shri Anurag Thakur Thakur said, “In the last 70 years, the Gupkar coalition has held Jammu and Kashmir hostage like a slave. For decades of enjoying the power, they ensured the step-motherly treatment to state's people, who only cared for their children and their families. They stayed in palaces and confined the people in a 2-room house, provided good education to their children abroad and instead of setting up school-colleges for the youth here, they handed them stones & guns in their hands, kept a good arrangement of drinking water for themselves and forced the mothers-sisters here to fetch drinking water from miles, flew in helicopters themselves but never worried about road-rail for the state. They only cared about themselves and their families and continued to push the state into the trough so as to gain political advantages and funds from Center.

Speaking further, Mr. Anurag Thakur said, “They strengthened the roots of nepotism not only in power or politics but also in scams. Farooq Abdullah, whose 3 generations ruled Jammu and Kashmir, bought three kanals of land from different landowners at Khasra No. 21 in village Sunjawan in Jammu in 1998. When Dr. Abdullah started construction of a house on this land, he also encroached seven Kanal adjoining land. Abdullah's brother Mustafa Kamal encroached two Kanal forest land in Sunjwan of Bahu, sister Suraiya Mattu and brother-in-law grabbed 3 Kanal 12 Marla land in their name under this Act. The office of the National Conference was also built by taking advantage of the Roshni Act. The National Conference, PDP and Congress have jointly made fortunes in the country's most sensational scam of 25000 crore rupees, for which the people of the state are going to teach them a lesson in these DDC elections.

Similarly family of Madan Lal former MP, Aijaz Khan, Former Minister Taj Mohiddun Former Minister and many more tall leaders of this Gang have grabbed land under this scheme, he said.

J&K BJP Vice-President Assem Gupta, Former Minister Chander Prakash Ganga and other senior leaders of party also accompanied Union MoS in the rally.
