Ready to sacrifice our position if state needs: Waheed-ur-Rehman Parra

On Linking CDF with capex budget Waheed-ur-Rehman parra said that government should reconsider the decision as MLA’S will left with nothing for emergency situations.

Linking of Constituency Development Fund (CDF) of the MLAs to the tune of Rs 3 crore annually with District Capex Budget by the Government has caused unrest among the legislators cutting across their party affiliations as they are of the view that the CDF is meant for emergency nature of works throughout the year and if it is made part of the plan it will be exhausted within few days rendering them “without any funds” for rest of the year.

On the basis of Finance Department’s order, the Deputy Commissioners of almost all districts have asked MLAs of their districts to identify works under Rs 3 crore worth CDF for making them part of District Capex Budget causing unrest among majority of the MLAs. A number of legislators have refused to follow the directive and have taken up the issue with the Government for restoring CDF as it used to be in the previous Assembly.

Waheed-ur-Rehman Parra PDP MLA said that if restoration of statehood needs our position we are ready to sacrifice as the government has promised to the people of J&K that what was lost will be taken back.
