KATHUA, Apr 11: Former Minister and president DCC Kathua, Dr Manohar Lal Sharma, today slammed the BJP Government at the Centre and said it has failed to mention anything about “employment and jobs” in its manifesto.
While addressing a series of public meetings at Pallan, Dhralta, Balasundri, Amala and Dhan areas of Billawar constituency, Sharma said jobs and employment didn’t find any mention in the BJP manifesto though it is a major issue in the country.
Calling the BJP’s Sankalp Patra a “lie”, Manohar Lal Sharma quoted that BJP promised “One Nation, One Tax” but changed it 900 times. He said, “the country still remembers that the BJP promised Rs 15 lakh to every citizen, employment to over 2 crore people, doubling of the farmer’s income and women security before 2014 elections but BJP Government failed on all these promises”.
While pulling up the BJP on the issue of corruption, he said, “The BJP had promised to eliminate corruption. But it has even failed to appoint Lokpal in five years. Over 14.5 lakh RTI requests are pending. Around 40 per cent RTIs were rejected in 2018 alone”.
He requested the masses to vote for Congress candidate Vikramaditya Singh in the upcoming elections and defeat the nefarious design of BJP Government. He also urged the people and party workers to come in huge numbers to attend the political rally by former Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia and Leader of Opposition Ghulam Nabi Azab on April 14 at Phinter, Billawar in favour of Congress candidate for Udhampur constituency.
