| Gupta voices concern over growing unrest amongst unemployed youth | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 23- Voicing serious concern over the growing unrest amongst the trained and highly educated youth, the leader of the BJP Legislators party, Prof. Chaman Lal Gupta has impressed upon the alliance to come up with the employment policy which they have been promising for about a year now.
In a statement here today, Prof. Gupta said that lot of vacancies in various departments directly linked with the health, education, electricity supply and others spheres of life are lying vacant but regrettably the government was not acting fast to fill up these vacancies as a result the working in these departments was suffering.
Referring to a reply of a question in the State Assembly in February last, the BJP leader recalled that it was told that the matter of unemployment is under active consideration of the government and draft unemployment policy is being finalized to create large scale employment opportunities but despite expiry of nine months now this assurance in the House, the government have failed even to chalk out a policy, not to say of its implementation.
‘The incompetence could be judged of this dispensation that before the Assembly elections last year it was announced to fill up seventy thousand vacant posts within three months but more than 20 months have elapsed these posts have not been filled up so far’, he said.
He said large numbers of posts are vacant in the Agriculture Department and about ten thousand technocrats and others are on the roads for months together begging for securing their future but the ruling leaders have little time to frame even a policy and issue a formal order which was promised to these trained youths several months ago.
Targeting the leadership of the Congress and its allies the BJP leader pointed out that to secure votes the Congress was first to announce in 1983, in their manifesto to provide at least one job to a family and in case of unemployment, subsistence allowance would be provided to each unemployed youth till his employment but despite their written promises, little was done. So was the case with the leaders of the PDP and the National Conference, he added and observed that most deplorable part of this whole cheating was that in the State Assembly the coalition Government of the Congress-NC flatly refused of having made any such promise although all these existed in their manifestoes, not to say of their election speeches alone, he added.
Prof. Gupta appealed the people in general, especially the unemployed youth, to question these leaders as to why they are not keeping up their assurances and filling up the vacancies in various departments.
