JAMMU, Feb 14: Senior Congress leader, Dr Manohar Lal Sharma flayed the government led by BJP at Centre for allegedly being responsible for the growing unemployment in the country.
In a public meeting at Billawar Sharma said: “Modi-Shah’s BJP government at Centre is making false promises with the youth.”

Sharma said that Congress extends full support to the protest of daily wagers demanding regularization of their jobs.
