Udhampur, 03-03-2023: Having enticed the gullible masses with its seductive slogans and enchanting promises, the BJP govt had literally and figuratively failed to fulfil its commitments made by it during Assembly, BDC, DDC and Parliamentary elections said Mr. Harsh Dev Singh, Former Minister & senior NPP leader. “While the unemployed were assured of Job bonanzas with gainful employment for all educated youth, the general masses were lured by the most glamorous slogans of ‘Achhe Din’, ‘Sabka saath-Sabka Vikas’ etc. And above all, the BJP leadership had promised to curb inflation and to improve and ameliorate the lot of common man by framing people friendly policies. Unfortunately 8 years down the line what we find is all-round dis-enchantment with a hapless BJP govt grappling with the mess of its own creation”, said Mr. Harsh Dev. He was addressing prominent Party workers of Chenani, Ghordi, Ramnagar and Majalta in a meeting convened at Udhampur today.
Ridiculing the loud pronouncements made by the BJP leadership of creating two crore jobs per year for unemployed educated youth, Mr. Singh said that the govt’s post election conduct had only amounted to rubbing salt on wounds of such youth. The ‘Agniveer’ scheme announced by the govt had not only antagonized the young aspirants all over the country, but had unravelled the insensitivity of a highly apathetic govt in its true colours. Recruiting youth for four years and then retiring them at young age of 22 or 23 years was a typical example of “use and throw” policy against the youth besides constituting a human right violation of a grave order. BSF and CISF aspirants had been treated most shabbily by the govt resulting in massive resentment against the present regime. Plight of NYCs, NYVs, REKs, REJs, REZs, PETs, SAMAGRA teachers, DRWs, Contractuals, Angarwari and Asha workers MGNREGA and NHM workers etc was equally pathetic with damocles’ sword of dis-engagement hanging over their heads. And despite repeated promises of regularization made with them, they were being treated as disposables facing constant threat of termination. The result therefore was obvious with massive outrage amongst such youth having led to governance fiasco besides law and order problems of serious nature. Likewise the promises made by the BJP leadership with various other aspirational groups had proved mere hyperboles creating huge unrest amongst the public at large, rued Mr. Singh. He called upon the Party workers to leave no stone unturned for ameliorating the lot of poor, underprivileged and deprived sections and make sincere efforts for ensuring justice to the aggrieved people. He said the NPP would bounce back with full might as was evident from the high morals being exhibited by its workers.
Prominent among those spoke on the occasion included Des Raj Chairman BDC Ramnagar; Ashri Devi DDC Dudu Basantgarh; Neelam Devi BDC Chairperson Parly Dhar; Sushma Devi BDC Chairperson Kulwanta Block besides several other senior Party leaders, Sarpanchs and Councillors of the Party.
