Launching scathing attack on BJP. AICC general secretary said during last ten years BJP has brought miseries for the people of Jammu and Kashmir. Youth are the worst victims. The unemployment has reached alarming high. The unemployment rate is highest in J&K at present. Over one lakh vacancies are lying vacant and BJP has failed to fill up these posts. They failed to give employment to the youth of J&K and now they are making tall claims of providing five lakh jobs.
