Congress betrayed Himachal youth with 10 guarantees, failed to deliver jobs: Anurag Thakur

Dharamshala, Nov 14 ( UNI) Former union Minister and Hamirpur MP Anurag Singh Thakur today accused the Congress government in Himachal Pradesh of betraying the youth by failing to fulfil its election promises, particularly the guarantee of five lakh government jobs.
Addressing a Yuva Aakrosh Rally at Jaswan-Pragpur as the chief speaker, Thakur said the Congress was approaching four years in power but had failed to explain how many jobs had been provided against its promise of five lakh government jobs.
He asked Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu to disclose the number of appointments made, vacancies filled and posts still lying vacant. He alleged that recruitment delays and uncertainty had left thousands of aspiring candidates frustrated.
Thakur also questioned the government's progress on its 10 guarantees, including the promise of Rs 1,500 monthly assistance to women, employment for youth and relief to farmers and horticulturists.
Jaswan-Pragpur MLA and former Industries Minister Bikram Thakur said the youth had taken to the streets to demand accountability for the promises made during the Assembly elections.
He demanded a white paper on the implementation of the 10 guarantees, along with detailed information on recruitments, regular appointments, vacant posts and the government's future employment roadmap.
Both BJP leaders said the party would continue to raise issues concerning unemployment and the rights of the youth. UNI AR SS
