JAMMU, May 30: While the educated unemployed youth, the contractuals and daily rated workers continue to languish on the roads, the BJP leadership was busy trumpeting its often parroted slogan of achieving 50+ seats in the Assembly elections.
“Rather than addressing the issues of the agitating youth and of other aggrieved sections of society, the BJP leaders continued with propagation of its political philosophy quite unmindful of the sufferings of the teeming millions in J&K. Having lost the art of conversation and the sensitivity to appreciate the woes of the common masses, the BJP Govt and its proxies in J&K seemed to be completely obsessed with the idea of retaining power in the troubled UT by hook or crook,” said former minister and senior AAP leader Harsh Dev Singh today in a press conference after inducting dozens of youth in AAP.
Maintaining that the BJP Govt had dithered in fulfilling its promises on employment and curbing inflation, Singh said that the youth was the most disappointed lot under the present regime with unemployment rate having risen substantially in J&K during the last few years. The Govt and private sectors had miserably failed to accommodate the ever increasing number of Job seekers giving rise to summering discontent amongst the educated youth. And to add fuel to the fire, the BJP leaders were issuing vague, nauseating statements only to mislead the aspiring youth.
“BJP’s thought process and conduct militates against its pro youth rhetoric,” said Singh adding that its only objective was to rule rather than to serve. He cautioned that BJP’s lust for power would eventually prove its waterloo at the hustings.
Prominent among those who joined AAP included Anchal Singh, Joginder Singh, Kuldeep Singh, Rahul Sharma, Vijay Sharma, Madan Lal, Sachin Singh, Ajay Sharma, Lakshman Kesar, Mohinder Sharam, Sunny Kumar, Parshotam Lal, Jasbir Singh, Roshan Lal, Anku Sharma, Manmohan Singh, Ajay Kumar, Naresh Singh, Surjit Singh, Rohit Kumar, Arjun Singh, Jugal Lal, Sunil Singh, Mohan Lal, Satpaul Sharma besides others.
