HIRANAGAR, Mar 31: Former MP and Minister and Congress candidate for Udhampur Lok Sabha constituency Ch Lal Singh today said that special recruitment for the J&K youth will be his priority besides strongly projecting issues of farmers and working class/daily wagers and contractual employees if he is elected to power.
Addressing several election rallies at Rajbagh, Mirpur, Chann Rorian, Seswan, Chandwan, Chadwal, Dayala Chack, Talli- Patyari, Mela, Hiranagar and Kootah today Ch Lal Singh said that BJP which ruled the nation for 10 years, indulged only in exploitation of masses and communal policies for vote bank. They divided people on the name of religion and caste as it fitted to their policy of vote bank.
Ch Lal Singh said that mutations of lands of the poor people of the constituency have been cancelled and now the poor people cannot plough the land which they were doing since independence. When BJP took away 370 and reorganized the state, what the local BJP leaders were doing during that period, he asked.
Former MP said the Congress is the party of the poor while the BJP exists to serve only the big businessmen. BJP Government has sold the public assets and all the resources of the Jammu and Kashmir to big corporate and their friends. He further lambasted that if this dictatorial form of the Government has done so much of the developments then why are they running away from the Assembly elections for the last 10 years.
Addressing huge gathering in Hiranagar town, Lal Singh reiterated that if voted to power, the present administrative apparatus which is in deep slumber for the last 10 years will not merely wake up but would reach to the people’s doorstep to address their grievances. He further said that local employees who have been totally neglected and sidelined by the present regime, will be given due respect and place. He also assured the youth that all the companies which are working in this region would have to recruit the local youth on priority.
