Modi's 'Pakoda Rozgaar Yojana' has dashed hopes of jobless educated youth: Harsh

Early Times Report
Jammu, Feb 15: Reminiscing the poll promise of Narendra Modi of creating two crore jobs per year with 10 crore jobs during the five year term which had turned out to be another "Chunavi Jumla" and further making a contemptuous mockery of the educated unemployed youth by advising them, to sell "pakodas" on roads, a contingent of Panther activists along with scores of highly educated youth led by Harsh Dev Singh Chairman JKNPP staged a strong protest demonstration at Exhibition Ground Jammu. The angry young protestors while raising anti-BJP slogans sold fritters (pakodas) and consigned their degrees to flames to express their resentment and disillusionment against the soaring unemployment. They raised slogans of "Pakoda Sarkar Hai Hai", "Pakoda Rozgar Yojana Hai Hai", BJP Sarkar Hai Hai etc.
Addressing the media, Harsh Dev Singh regretted that Prime Minister Narendera Modi had ruthlessly dashed the hopes of educated unemployed youth and made their mockery by citing that selling 'pakoras' was also a form of employment which could be seen in the light of job creation.
Terming the statement as a cruel joke, he lambasted BJP's National President Amit Shah for further sprinkling the salts on the wounds of jobless people when he told Rajya Sabha that it was better to sell 'pakodas' than being unemployed.
"Pathetic claim of Modi had exposed the abject failure of his government in generating employment in the past four years", Harsh rued. Singh said that the in fructuous policies of the NDA government had led to poor economic growth, en- masse retrenchments and lay-offs except low-paid jobs in the informal sector and mainly contractual jobs in the organised sector.
