JAMMU: Firing salvos at the BJP government at the Centre for its failure in addressing basic public issues in J&K, JKPCC Working President Raman Bhalla stated that rather than fulfilling its promise of providing jobs, the union government has been selling off the public sector undertakings (PSUs) and thus, permanently denying jobs to lakhs of youth as well as denting their livelihood prospects.
This was stated by former Minister while interacting with people of Village Langar Ward-68 a part of Greater Kailash as a part of his mass contact programme to listen to public grievances in various parts of RS Pura-Jammu South constituency on Monday.
Prominent among those present on the occasion include PCC Secretary Satish Sharma, Corporator Pritam Singh, District President Jammu Urban Youth Congress Happy Randhawa, Neeraj Kumar, Jeet Choudhary, Surjeet, Amar Nath, Ram Lal, Papu, Bhadur Singh, Lucky Kumar, Ram Chand, Naik Ram, Harbans Singh, Ghar Singh beside others. Bhalla said BJP Govt failed to maintain law and order, resolving farmer’s problems, improving education and health services, employment generation and delivery of public services. He lambasted the Centre for “decimating” small and medium businesses resulting in millions of job and livelihood losses across various sectors of economy.
Underscoring the fact that Manmohan Singh, when he was the Prime Minister, never let the prices of oil rise even when the crude oil became costly in the international market, he pointed out that despite the low crude prices internationally the Modi government has not even passed on the benefit of the low price to the public.
Taking a dig at LG Administration, Bhalla said, it is acting as the agent of the central government. He said, “The union government’s policies are putting common people into trouble.
.He asserted that BJP Government has betrayed people of Jammu by reducing status of a state to union territory and Govt is also not coming clear on many issues. Bhalla said that only Congress is a secular party and never believes in caste, creed and colour. He claimed that it is only Congress which can keep the whole J&K united.
