BANDIPORA, April 20: Former Minister of State and ex-MLA Usman Majid on Monday launched a scathing attack on political rivals, accusing them of opportunism and misleading the public during a workers’ convention in Bonakoot, Bandipora.
Addressing party workers, Majid criticised what he described as “seasonal visitors” who, he alleged, have recently begun frequenting the constituency to claim credit for developmental works despite having remained absent from the region’s struggles.
“Those who neither understand the ground realities nor the aspirations of the people are today projecting themselves as champions of development. This is deception at its peak,” he said, asserting that the people of Bandipora are politically aware and cannot be misled by “superficial visits and hollow claims.”
Without naming any individual, Majid also targeted the present legislator, accusing the leadership of failing to deliver on electoral promises. He said basic issues continue to remain unresolved while assurances remain confined to speeches.
“Bandipora deserves accountability, not excuses; it deserves delivery, not deception,” he said, reflecting what he termed as growing public dissatisfaction.
Highlighting developmental concerns, Majid claimed that several areas in the constituency continue to face a lack of basic amenities despite claims of progress. He emphasised that governance must go beyond rhetoric and translate into visible results on the ground.
The event also witnessed several political workers from different areas joining his camp, which Majid described as a sign of increasing grassroots support and rejection of “false narratives.”
Calling upon his workers to remain active at the grassroots level, he urged them to counter misinformation and stay connected with the people. “Our responsibility is not just political but moral—to stand with truth and serve with honesty,” he said.
Concluding his address, Majid appealed to the people to remain united and vigilant, asserting that the future of Bandipora must be built on “truth, commitment and collective strength.”
