KATHUA, Sept 10: Former Minister, Dr Manohar Lal Sharma, today said that PDP-BJP Government in J&K has betrayed the people of the Jammu province in all spheres including development and did nothing, except giving hollow slogan and promises.
Dr Sharma was addressing a public meeting at village Sunkhal in Panchyat Katli of Billawar constituency. The meeting was attended by a large number of people from different section of society and party workers.
He raised serious concerns over the betrayal of BJP and his leaders with people of country for his commitments and promises made during both elections (parliament as well as assembly) in public meetings.
Sharma pointed out that GDP is showing continuously downward trends, eight major core sectors are continuously sinking, service sector is in bad position and there is no growth in new employment generation. Dr Sharma also said that the status of ‘the fastest growing economy of the world’ which had been given to India, is lost now.
He said that the unemployed youths of the State as well as country are in the state of suffocation in present dispensation and they are feeling completely betrayal and cheated by BJP Government both in Centre and State, as both the Governments miserably failed to create new employment opportunities for the unemployed youth.
Dr Sharma said that BJP had surrendered the interests of the Jammuites for the sake of power and deceived the people who voted heavily in favors of the party during the last Assembly elections. He appealed all the Jammuites to unite and fight for common cause of the region.
Meanwhile, he demanded the State Government to fulfill the long pending demand of the people of Jammu region by announcing September 23, the birth anniversary of Maharaja Hari Singh, as a State holiday.
