JAMMU, Mar 18: Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) has termed the budgetary proposal for Jammu & Kashmir as short of people's expectations in view of the unprecedented situation and changes as well as lot of hopes given to the people. 

Reacting to the budget proposals for Jammu & Kashmir, JKPCC has termed it routine statement of receipts and expenditure which is less than planning commission norms of atleast twenty percent increase over last year. The budget I'd too short of the people’s needs and expectations in various sectors especially the promises extended for massive development and infrastructure creation after coming directly under central govt. 

Party Spokesperson Mr. Ravinder Sharma said that there is lot of shortfall of funds in various sectors due to the mess created by the previous coalition government as large scale neglect and pendency of development works and liabilities besides the increased unemployment during recent years and unprecedented price escalation. 

There are hollow slogans and promises in the budget but without adequate allocation and allotment of funds earmarked for the same. There is no allocation for the more than one lakh youth seeking regularisation from daily wager categories and over fifty thousand others working on temporary and contractual basis. There is hollow slogan for refugees rehabilitation but no provision of funds while only meager fans for kashmiri migrants.
