Accusing the BJP of playing politics over providing relief to flood victims of Jammu and Kashmir, Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Friday said the ruling party at the Centre promised the sky but did not follow it up with action.
Gandhi, who is here to campaign for Congress candidate Usman Majid for the forthcoming Assembly elections, said the polls are taking place at a time when people of Kashmir are yet to come to terms with the devastation caused by floods.
‘Elections are taking place at a time when you have faced a natural disaster (floods). It does not feel good to talk politics (but) the relief and rehabilitation work is going on a very slow pace,’ the Congress president said at an election rally here, 45 kms from Srinagar.
Gandhi said the UPA government went all out to provide succour to the victims of the 2005 earthquake that affected vast areas along the Line of Control, particularly Uri sector of Baramulla district.
