BJP betrayed J&K youth, pushed them to wall: Sadhotra
JAMMU FEBRUARY 19 - National Conference Additional General Secretary and Former Minister Mr Ajay Kumar Sadhotra today lashed out at the BJP for betraying youth and pushing them to wall by shrinking job avenues and failing in filling up the existing vacancies accumulated over the years across Jammu and Kashmir.
"BJP's tall claims of generating two crore jobs for youth every year across the country has proven yet another Jumla ", he said while addressing a public meeting at Udheywalla in Jammu North Assembly Constituency, where hundreds of youth joined National Conference, led by Mr Sahil Singh Chib. Sadhotra further added that by that account 20 crore jobs should have been provided in the past 10 years of BJP rule.
He said the BJP is sprinkling salt on the wounds of educated unemployed by creating hype of providing job letters during specially organised campaigns showcasing the Prime Minister, which is nothing but peanuts on the face of burgeoning unemployment. The BJP should be ashamed for its brazenness in playing with the sentiments of youth, he added.
Mr Sadhotra accused the so-called double engine government of failing in bringing a job policy and said
unemployment continues to be a biggest challenge, especially for industrially underdeveloped Jammu and Kashmir. The insensitive dispensation is yet to appreciate this phenomenon as a result of which frustration among educated unemployed youth is growing and they feel pushed to the wall during these times of acute inflation. The hapless youth have nowhere to go for seeking sustenance with many of them facing the prospect of getting overaged for jobs, he added.
The Additional General Secretary lauded the unity and resilience demonstrated by young people on the face of pathetic attitude of the BJP towards them, saying they are not alone in such a highly deplorable situation but National Confidence stands by them, he said.
Mr Sadhotra exhorted the workers to generate awareness about anti-youth and anti-people policies of the BJP government, which instead of focusing on governance and development is indulging in antagonizing different segments of society, especially the youth to divert the attention from real issues. He said the BJP has miserably failed in fulfilling promises made to the people before and after the elections.
On the occasion, several public spirited activists, youth joined the National Conference.
Welcoming young people into the party fold, Mr Sadhotra exuded confidence that they will further strengthen the cadre and take forward the public movement under the banner of National Conference to meet challenges faced to the Jammu and Kashmir on various fronts. He said the youth have a crucial role in shaping the destiny of this under-privileged Jammu and Kashmir and create a
situation wherein people belonging to various segments of society and region can have equal opportunities to progress and prosper.
Mr Sadhotra said the National Conference has always been in the forefront to channelize youth energy towards productive pursuits and generating avenues for them in the political arena.
"Today's workers are leaders of tomorrow", he said hoping the youth to emulate the role of towering party leaders, who have offered numerous sacrifices to strengthen the bonds of amity between various sections of society during most testing times.
Babu Ram Paul, Zonal President (Central Zone) and former Minister also welcomed the new entrants and hoped that their dedication and zeal will strengthen our party and leadership Dr.
Farooq Abdullah and Omar Abdullah. He asked the youth to come forward to create atmosphere of brotherhood and abolish atmosphere of hatred spread by BJP. He said National Conference is committed to create job opportunities for youth so that they could become self sufficient. He asked the youth not to mislead by the religious emotional propaganda of BJP. Our country is like a garden having different colours of flowers like Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christian and other religions.
Prominent among those present on the occasion included S/Sh Ankush Abrol, Ghar Singh Provincial Joint Secretaries, Raghubir Singh District President Jammu Rural, Rakesh Sharma District President Youth National Conference (Rural), Dr. Vikas Sharma Zonal Secretary (Central Zone), Ranbir Singh Senior Vice President Marh Block, Ravi Sharma, Tilak Raj Bhagat, Sahil Kerni Secretary YNC district Jammu, Rahul Mahajan, Rajinder Singh, Rahul Gupta.

Despite having its foundation stone , Amarnath Yatri Niwas construction is yet to take off even after 27 months :- Shiv Sena

Jammu :- Shiv Sena (UBT) Jammu and Kashmir unit strongly condemned the indifferent attitude of Shri Amarnath Shrine Board towards the construction work of Shri Amarnath Base Camp at Sidda, Jammu and called for taking forward the construction work of Base Camp from the foundation stone.

In a press conference organized at the party state office here today, state chief Manish Sahni said that the grand temple of Lord Shri Ram has been inaugurated in Ayodhya in about three years.
But the construction work of the base camp for the pilgrims coming for the Holy Shri Amarnath Yatra in Jammu has not progressed beyond the foundation stone in the last 27 months. Which proves that today vote bank politics has taken place under the guise of religion.
Sahni said that in Siddhra on the outskirts of Jammu
In November 2021, the foundation stone was laid by the Honorable Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir and once again on 6 June 2023, Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri and Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, Honorable Manoj Sinha jointly offered prayers with full rituals and laid the foundation stone. For this
Financial allocation of Rs 51 crore was provided by ONGC. Construction of base camp for 30,000 pilgrims , emergency medical facilities, disaster management centre, 54 rooms and 18 dormitories, a kitchen and a restaurant along with passenger accommodation was announced. But there is nothing except heaps of filth at the designated site, seeing which the religious sentiments of Hindus are being hurt. Sahni said that the round of meetings has started by the Shri Amarnath Shrine Board regarding Yatra management and facilities for the Yatra 2024. He appealed to the Chairman of Shri Amarnath Shrine Board and the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir to start the construction work of Yatri Niwas with immediate effect. On this occasion President mehila wing Meenakshi Chhibber, Gen secretary Vikas Bakshi, Vice president Sanjeev Kohli, President Kanghar wing Raj Singh were present.
