| Harsh Dev holds meet with Kejriwal, discusses J&K issues | | |  EARLY TIMES REPORT
NEW DELHI, May 8: Former minister and AAP leader Harsh Dev Singh held a meeting with Arvind Kejriwal, National Convener of the party and Delhi CM and discussed several issues pertaining to the UT of J&K at New Delhi today.
It is Pertinent to mention that Harsh Dev Singh had only yesterday joined AAP along with several other senior leaders and prominent political persons of the UT.
Apprising Kejriwal about the present scenario prevailing in J&K, Harsh Dev said that the erstwhile state had been rattled due to the reckless conduct of the powers that be. With mis-governance galore, the economy, trade, tourism and general development had received the deadliest blow during the last few years. The power and water crisis had created massive resentment against the government in the entire UT. A deep rooted culture of patronized corruption was prevalent in the UT with the general masses having lost their faith in the prolonged central rule forced over the erstwhile state for the last more than 3 1/2 years. The unemployed and the other under-employed youth were the most disappointed lot with the government treating them as mere expendables. He said that absorption of educated unemployed youth in gainful employment, regularization of DRWs and contractuals needed to be the priority of the AAP in the days to come.
Kejriwal assured Singh of a fair deal to the educated unemployed youth.
He said that the Delhi govt had provided jobs to over 10 lakh youth and was in the process of creating additional avenues as a measure of youth empowerment. He said that he was committed to the timely regularization of the temporary employees.
Kejriwal further reiterated the commitment of the party to provide free power and drinking water to the people of UT in case the party was voted to power.
He wished good luck to Harsh Dev Singh and expressed the hope that the party would benefit immensely from his political acumen and experience.
Those who were present in the meeting included Gagan Pratap Singh, Purshotam Parihar and Sudesh Dogra. |
