She asked Bhalla to activate the cadres at various levels in order to highlight issues of people and expose the failures and falsehood of BJP and the failures of the Centre Government in J&K to come up to the expectations of the people on various vital commitments.

Bhalla said that unemployment and inflation in Jammu and Kashmir is all time high which has pushed people towards starvation.

He said that BJP’s unilateral decisions have added to the long prevailing political instability and alienation in the region besides violating the spirit of federalism in the country. He also alleged that LG Administration has failed on all fronts and the BJP is insensitive towards the problems of the youth. Law and order, education and health are in very bad shape. There is resentment among people and the youths are angry. This is because the attitude of the BJP towards the problems of the youth is insensitive, Bhalla alleged.
