JAMMU JUNE 28 (KNS): Former Minister and Senior National Conference leader Ajay Kumar Sadhotra today posed pointed questions to the BJP, asking as to what happened to the most orchestrated promise of doubling the farmers’ income across the country and action taken by the double engine government against the perpetrators of frauds and scams in the recruitment process in Jammu and Kashmir.
While addressing a public meeting at LOHRI CHAK in Marh Assembly Constituency which was organized by Youth National Conference, and was held under the chairmanship of Bapu CharanDass Bhagat Ex-Sarpanch.
In this meeting, Mr Vikas Choudhary and Aman Singh Manhas were nominated as President and Vice President of Youth National Conference Block Marh respectively.
“The unemployment has risen to alarming proportions but the J&K administration continues to remain in paralysed mode, not only in filling up the vacancies but also telling the educated unemployed about the action taken against fraudsters and scammers, who played havoc with the careers of thousands of job seekers”, said Sadhotra.
Sadhotra said that instead of feeling accountable to the youth, the Government is indulging in rhetoric and false propaganda that is like sprinkling salt on their wounds. The problems concerning youth should not have been allowed to fall in the din of propaganda and serious efforts ought to have been taken to address the core issues of unemployment and employability. The fallout of the false promises and raising hopes has been driving the youth to desperation, as they find their future bleak. Continuous neglect of the burgeoning unemployment could prove counterproductive and have serious ramifications, he added.
On the promise of doubling the income of farmers, Mr Sadhotra took jibe at the BJP, saying it has been vice versa as the farmers are spending more than double to sustain in these grime times of unprecedented inflation during the past over nine years. The conditions of the other segments of society are no more different as they have been forced to lead the lives of penury, he said, adding that the insensitivity of the government towards farmers will prove disastrous in the years to come and the peasants not feeling motivated to continue with peasantry.
Sadhotra asserted that the National Conference will continue to highlight the sufferings of people, especially the farmers who are facing major brunt of the callous attitude of the double engine government.The Former Minister asked the government to wake up from the deep slumber and see what is happening on ground zero and how the people are suffering on all fronts. They want deliverance not propaganda, which has been the main plank of the insensitive, unaccountable and irresponsible government, he added.
Sadhotra urged the workers to prepare themselves for Local Bodies and Panchayat Elections and expand their mass outreach programme for meeting the challenges facing Jammu and Kashmir. He said the National Conference has a history of public service and this philosophy will continue to guide the workers and functionaries in getting Jammu and Kashmir out of the mess created by the BJP.
Newly appointed President Vikas Choudhary and Aman Singh Manhas thanked the Party high command for nominating them and assured the high command that they shall not keep any stone unturned to strengthen the party and take programme of the party to the every nook and corner of the Block.
