JAMMU, Dec 23: In a scathing critique of the INDI Gathbandhan, Dr. Abhijeet Jasrotia lambasted the alliance for failing to deliver on its manifesto promise of providing one lakh jobs to the youth of Jammu and Kashmir.
Addressing a press conference at the party office in Trikuta Nagar, he termed the promise as “an eyewash” and contrasted it with the BJP-led Government’s transparent job recruitment process.
Dr. Jasrotia highlighted the recent issuance of 71,000 appointment letters under the leadership of Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, showcasing the Government’s commitment to ending backdoor appointments and nepotism. He emphasized that the era of favouritism and “Bhai-Bateja culture” has been replaced by a merit-based, transparent system, in line with the principle of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas.”
He further noted the elimination of exploitative daily wage systems, where workers earned as little as Rs 500 per month. “Under the Modi Government, over 42,000 full-salaried appointments have been provided, ensuring dignity and financial stability for the youth,” Dr. Jasrotia said.
Dr. Jasrotia outlined the employment achievements of the BJP-led Government over the last six years, stating that nearly Rs 7.9 lakh self-employment opportunities have been created through various Government schemes. 42,000 Government jobs have been filled through transparent processes. Industrialization efforts have led to the creation of approximately 70,000 private-sector jobs. This brings the total to Rs 9-10 lakh jobs generated in Jammu and Kashmir, a milestone that, according to Dr. Jasrotia, reflects the Government’s dedication to youth empowerment and economic growth.
Dr. Jasrotia challenged the NC-led Government to fulfil their promise of creating one lakh jobs, demanding the same level of transparency and competitive salaries as demonstrated by the BJP Government.
The press conference was attended by spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan, BJYM Arun Prabhat, and Dr. Makson Tickoo. Arun Prabhat emphasized the need for equitable job opportunities for the youth of Jammu.
