JAMMU: National Conference Additional General Secretary and Former Minister Ajay Kumar Sadhotra today lashed out at the BJP for betraying youth and pushing them to wall by shrinking job avenues and failing in filling up the existing vacancies accumulated over the years across Jammu and Kashmir.
“BJP’s tall claims of generating two crore jobs for youth every year across the country has proven yet another Jumla “, he said while addressing a public meeting at Udheywalla in Jammu North Assembly Constituency, where hundreds of youth joined National Conference, led by Sahil Singh Chib. Sadhotra further added that by that account 20 crore jobs should have been provided in the past 10 years of BJP rule.
Sadhotra accused the so-called double engine government of failing in bringing a job policy and said unemployment continues to be a biggest challenge, especially for industrially underdeveloped Jammu and Kashmir. The insensitive dispensation is yet to appreciate this phenomenon as a result of which frustration among educated unemployed youth is growing and they feel pushed to the wall during these times of acute inflation. The hapless youth have nowhere to go for seeking sustenance with many of them facing the prospect of getting overaged for jobs, he added.
Sadhotra exhorted the workers to generate awareness about anti-youth and anti-people policies of the BJP government, which instead of focusing on governance and development is indulging in antagonizing different segments of society, especially the youth to divert the attention from real issues. He said the BJP has miserably failed in fulfilling promises made to the people before and after the elections.
On the occasion, several public spirited activists, youth joined the National Conference.
