Srinagar: The Leader of Opposition Sunil Sharma on Wednesday launched an all-out attack on the National Conference (NC) government, labelling it as a “regime of nepotism, betrayal, and deception that has cheated unemployed youth and fooled the public with hollow promises”.
Speaking to reporters, Sharma, as per news agency KNO, slammed the government over re-employment of a retired official. “A retired officer – conveniently a blue-eyed relative of a leader- has been parachuted into service through GAD orders. Earlier, another retired official was appointed in the Tourism department,” Sharma said.
The BJP leader said the “anti-youth policies” of the Omar Abdullah-led government have “shattered public trust” and “mocked the very promises made during elections.”
“Omar Abdullah pledged one lakh jobs for the youth. What did he deliver? A handful of posts to relatives! The BJP strongly condemns this betrayal and warns the government against continuing such corrupt practices,” Sharma asserted.
Turning his guns on NC’s welfare claims, Sharma dismissed the promise of subsidised electricity as a “fraud on the poor”.
“Tell me, did anyone ever get the 200 free units Omar Abdullah promised in the last budget session? Even under the PM Surya Mufat Bijli Yojana, eight lakh registered families in J&K are still waiting. This government thrives on lies, tricks, and failures,” Sharma charged.
He alleged that the NC government has collapsed on every front — employment, governance, and development.
“They only rant about freedom, communalism, and Pakistan-China. But when it comes to actual development, nothing moves. Even projects completed by the Lieutenant Governor’s administration are shamelessly showcased by NC ministers for photo-ops,” Sharma said. (KNO)
