Nilnag (Budgam), Dec 19: Cautioning the people against hollow sloganeering and false propaganda of the Opposition, the Minister for Finance and Ladakh Affairs, Abdul Rahim Rather on Monday said that growing popularity of National Conference leadership has “unnerved” the opposition and its now “relying on politics of lies.”
 Addressing a gathering here in central Kashmir after laying foundation stone of Primary Health Centre, Building (PHC), Rather said, “Opposition has nothing to offer except hollow promises and exploitation of innocent people by hoodwinking them in frivolous issues.”
 Vowing that all the promises made to the people shall be fulfilled, Rather said, “People are the best judges to differentiate between the real friends and foes adding that masses cannot be swayed too long on hollow promises.”
 He said the present Government has launched a massive developmental programme in every nook and corner of the state especially in far flung and hitherto neglected areas with focus on construction of wide road network to link unconnected areas with main trunk roads, opening of schools for better education and hospitals for adequate health care at the doorsteps of the people in far flung areas. “These developmental and welfare initiatives would usher the entire State into a massive socio-economic revolution shortly”, Rather asserted.
