JAMMU, Jun 13: J&K BJP President and Rajya Sabha MP Sat Sharma, along with Leader of Opposition Sunil Sharma, chaired a meeting of senior party leaders at the BJP headquarters in Trikuta Nagar, Jammu, to deliberate on the failures and anti-youth policies of the Omar Abdullah-led National Conference government in Jammu & Kashmir.
J&K BJP General Secretaries Sanjita Dogra, Baldev Singh Billawaria, and Gopal Mahajan, Secretaries Reema Padha, Arun Sharma, Media Incharge Dr. Pardeep Mahotra, Spokespersons Balbir Ram Rattan, Dr. Hari Dutt Shishu, Adv. Ankur Sharma, and Zorawar Singh Jamwal, SC Morcha President Dharminder Kumar, Refugee Cell Convenor Balvinder Singh, and other senior leaders were present in the meeting.
Sat Sharma, while addressing the meeting, launched a sharp attack on the National Conference government, stressing that it has failed to honour the commitments made to the people of Jammu and Kashmir during the 2024 Assembly elections. He said that the NC leadership had made lofty promises to the people but has now adopted a completely contradictory stance, abandoning the very assurances highlighted in its election manifesto. He asked the government to uphold Raj Dharma and ensure transparent, accountable, and people-centric governance.
“The BJP will not allow any disservice to the people of Jammu and Kashmir, any discrimination against the residents of Jammu, or any policy that compromises the future of J&K youth. We will fight tooth and nail against every instance of bad governance and anti-people decision taken by the present dispensation,” Sat Sharma asserted.
Sharma announced that Leader of Opposition Sunil Sharma would spearhead the party’s resistance against what the BJP termed as the government’s “draconian outsourcing policy.” He further said that the party’s General Secretaries would coordinate the resistance movement in support of the LoP, while BJP Morchas and Cells would take the campaign to the grassroots level across Jammu and Kashmir. He also shared that the two spokespersons namely Adv Ankur Sharma, and Zorawar Singh Jamwal will assist senior leaders in the primary work on the matter.
Sunil Sharma, in his address, accused the National Conference government of having “completely failed” to address the aspirations and expectations of the youth of Jammu and Kashmir. He said that despite raising hopes among young people during the elections, the NC government has demonstrated a lack of vision regarding employment generation and youth empowerment.
“The youth of Jammu and Kashmir feel betrayed. While the government has distanced itself from its promises of regular recruitment and transparent appointments, it has instead opened the door to backdoor entries under the new nomenclature of ‘outsourcing’,” Sunil Sharma said.
Sharma cautioned that, similar to previous exploitative arrangements that kept thousands of educated youth trapped in insecure and poorly paid engagements without any long-term career prospects, the present outsourcing model would further jeopardize the future of another generation of young people.
Warning the government against proceeding with such policies, the Leader of Opposition said that if the National Conference government fails to reverse what the BJP considers a backdoor recruitment mechanism, the party will intensify its agitation and take the fight from the legislature to the streets in defense of the rights and future of the youth of Jammu and Kashmir.
