UDHAMPUR, Apr 28: Jammu provincial president of National Conference (NC) Rattan Lal Gupta today said as what is the purpose of holding international conferences like Y20 when the Government has miserably failed to fulfill the aspirations of youth.
“It’s unfortunate that today youth are going over-aged due to rampant corruption in Jammu and Kashmir as every recruitment process is witnessing scam. Therefore, it is the time for the NC activists to expose all these facts before the people to garner their support and win the upcoming Urban Local Body (ULB) polls in the Union Territory.
Gupta was addressing a meeting of party workers here today. The meeting was organized by Sunil Verma (district president, NC Udhampur). Gupta exhorted upon the party cadre to gear up for the upcoming ULB polls. He said that the Municipal bodies across J&K have become the den of corruption and the people are fed up of the poor performance given by the incumbent helmsmen running the municipalities/Councils and Corporations.
The senior NC leader asserted that BJP as well as its Government has a track record of making hollow promises and raising false slogans never to be fulfilled. Even the commitment made by LG Administration with unemployed youth of J&K for creating adequate facilities for their future has miserably failed, he added.
“Today, hospitals are facing dearth of doctors and paramedical staff, and health centres are running without doctors and specialists, schools facing shortage of teachers and infrastructure, highly educated youth of J&K have become a victim of adhocism, contractual system and academic arrangements in the Government colleges,” he said, adding that promise of Government for raising Border Battalion has also become a hoax.
Pradeep Bali (provincial secretary, NC), Sunil Verma (district president, Udhampur) and Akash Verma (Youth leader) also spoke on the occasion.
Among others who were present in the meeting include Pavitar Singh, K D Sharma, Raju Pandit, Adil Shah, Ram Krishan, Radha Devi, Parveen Akther, Sujjad Ahmed, Anyatullah, Satpal and Kishore Sadhotra.
