Jammu, May 15: “INDIA alliance has committed to usher in a new era of employment in the government sector if voted to power by the people of the nation in the ongoing Lok Sabha polls,” said Rattan Lal Gupta, Provincial President J&K National Conference Jammu on Wednesday.
Intensifying an election campaign meeting in support of the INDIA alliance candidate Mian Altaf Ahmed in Surankote area of Poonch district, Gupta emphasised the INDIA alliance’s pledge to address the pressing issue of unemployment by opening the doors of opportunity wide for the youth of the nation. He underscored the alliance’s promise to fill 30 lakh government job vacancies.
Rattan Lal drew attention to the alarming number of vacant positions across various government departments saying 9,64,000 posts are vacant in 78 government departments. “If we consider the data presented by the Central government in Parliament, then 9,64,000 posts are vacant in 78 departments. If we look at important departments only, 2.93 lakh posts are vacant in the railways, 1.43 lakh in the home ministry and 2.64 lakh in the defence ministry,” he added.
The NC leader emphasised the urgent need for action to address this issue. He expressed concern over the “failure” of the current administration to fill these vacancies and reaffirmed the INDIA alliance’s “unwavering commitment” to rectify this situation and provide meaningful employment opportunities to the country’s youth.
He said, “Unemployment is at its peak in Jammu and Kashmir. The youth of the Union Territory have become the worst victims of the multiple recruitment scams under the incumbent administration of which FAA, Fire & Emergency Services and SI exams and several other recruitment exams were cancelled. The LG government can’t disown the responsibility of having utterly failed in ensuring fair, transparent and timely exams as well as the recruitment process as a result of which the youth can only see a bleak future in front of them.”
“Not only this, even the daily wagers are the worst victims of the incompetence of the J&K government as they too have been compelled to come on roads for their genuine demand of regularization,” he added.
The provincial president urged the party cadre to remain visible in public and brief them about the “misdeeds” of the current administration. “Time has come for the people to respond to the BJP’s anti-people and anti-youth actions by supporting and voting for the alliance candidate Mian Altaf Ahmed,” he said.
