SRINAGAR:Omar Abdullah on Wednesday hit out at the BJP over the high unemployment rates among youth in J&K saying it is one of the reasons the ruling party at the
has been avoiding assembly elections in the UT. Their Naya J&K is this. For the past five years, they have directly ruled the territory. It was said that what was done on August 5th, 2019 would ‘open the floodgates of job chances.’ One more falsehood among many others. It makes sense why the BJP is reluctant to permit an assembly election in J&K,” Abdullah tweeted. The former chief minister of J&K made his comments after the Union Home Ministry earlier in the day informed the Parliament that Jammu and Kashmir’s jobless rate for people aged 15 to 29 was 18.3%, significantly higher than the national figure.
