UDHAMPUR, Dec 22: Former Minister and senior AAP leader, Harsh Dev Singh said that having enticed the gullible masses with its seductive slogans, the BJP Govt had literally and figuratively failed to fulfill its commitments made by it during Assembly and Parliamentary elections resulting in massive public outrage.
“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. However, eight 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,” he said while interacting with several people during his tour of village Kashirah of Udhampur East constituency where he had been invited by the locals of the area to highlight the burning issues of the public.
Ridiculing the loud proclamations made by the BJP leadership of creating two crore jobs per year for unemployed educated youth, 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. BSF and CISF aspirants had been treated most shabbily by the Govt resulting in massive resentment against the present regime. Plight of NYCs, REKs, REJs, REZs, DRWs, Contractuals etc is equally pathetic with Damocles’ sword of dis-engagement hanging over their heads. And despite repeated promises of regularization made with them, they are being treated as disposables facing constant threat of termination,’ he added.
Claiming massive outrage amongst such youth having led to governance fiasco besides law and order problems of serious nature, Harsh Dev Singh said that the promises made by the BJP leadership with various other aspirational groups had proved mere hyperboles creating huge unrest amongst the public at large.
He assured the people that their problems pertaining to power and water crisis would be projected before the appropriate authorities for immediate redressal.
