He said that the youth, who expected greater opportunities, transparency and responsive administration, now feel neglected and disappointed. Sharma also discussed organisational issues and future party programmes aimed at strengthening the BJP down to the booth level.
He asserted that the BJP would work with renewed commitment to raise issues concerning common people and strengthen its connect with the public across the Union Territory.
Tarun Chugh said the BJP remains committed to the welfare and aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir and will continue to play the role of a vigilant and responsible opposition.
He maintained that the people of Jammu and Kashmir deserve transparent, accountable and development-oriented governance. Criticising the National Conference government, Chugh said there is growing disappointment among the youth and common citizens due to what he termed as the government’s inability to fulfil its promises and address public concerns.
He said the BJP would continue to stand firmly with the people and act as a strong and constructive voice for their rights, aspirations and concerns.
