BJP betrayed J&K youth, pushed them to wall: Sadhotra

National Conference (NC) 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 said the BJP is sprinkling salt on the wounds of educated unemployed by creating hype of providing job letters during specially organized campaigns showcasing the Prime Minister, which is nothing but peanuts on the face of burgeoning unemployment. The BJP should be ashamed for its brazenness in playing with the sentiments of youth, he added.
He 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 J&K. The hapless youth have nowhere to go for seeking sustenance with many of them facing the prospect of getting overaged for jobs, he added.
The former Minister exhorted the Party 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.
Welcoming young people into the party fold, Sadhotra exuded confidence that they will further strengthen the cadre and take forward the public movement under the banner of NC to meet challenges faced to the J&K on various fronts.
Babu Ram Paul, zonal president (central zone) and former Minister also welcomed the new entrants. Prominent among those present on the occasion included Ankush Abrol and Ghar Singh (provincial joint secretaries), Raghubir Singh (district president Jammu Rural) and Rakesh Sharma, district president, Youth National Conference (Rural).
