The NPP legislator further alleged that during the last four and half- year-rule of the present Government the people have suffered a worst kind of experience like mis-governance and lack of accountability. He said there was all round discontent and disenchantment among the people of the State who had felt betrayed by the anti-people policies pursued by the present regime. He alleged that Government has lost more than Rs 2100 crore of plan funds due to its criminal negligence and non-performance and owed an explanation to the people of this State.
Mr Singh further alleged that Government has also failed to fulfill its promises made to the unemployed youth and maintained that plethora of schemes announced by it including SKEWPY, Uddan, Himayat, have totally failed to address the issues of unemployment.
