There is no possibility of its restoration,\u201d Sharma said, challenging the Government to specify where the term \u201cspecial status\u201d exists in the Constitution in the manner it is being projected.Addressing a gathering during the BJP\u2019s mega joining programme at the Sher-e-Kashmir International Convention Centre (SKICC) here, Sharma alleged that the National Conference (NC) had sought votes in the 2024 Assembly elections in the name of restoring Article 370 but later admitted it could not expect support from the BJP at the Centre.<br \/>\n\u201cConstitutional positions cannot be altered through political slogans. People must ask what exactly is being promised under the term \u2018special status\u2019,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nSharma accused the NC of betraying the youth through what he described as political double standards, shifting positions and ineffective governance.<br \/>\nHe alleged that despite publicly opposing the BJP, the NC had aligned with it at different points in the past for political gains.<br \/>\nThe senior BJP leader also criticised the NC\u2019s earlier tenure, claiming that commitments regarding autonomy resolutions and financial assistance packages remained unfulfilled.<br \/>\nTurning to employment, Sharma questioned the Government\u2019s promise of providing one lakh jobs within 180 days.<br \/>\n\u201cI asked the Chief Minister in the Assembly about the one lakh jobs promise. Instead, they are justifying the figure of 24,000 outsourced posts,\u201d he told reporters later.<br \/>\nHe alleged that nearly 24,000 positions were outsourced to a private firm without public advertisements, competitive examinations or interviews, bypassing established recruitment norms.<br \/>\nCriticising the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Sharma said it had failed to effectively question the Government.<br \/>\nReferring to PDP president Mehbooba Mufti, he said the party had been voted in to hold the NC accountable but was instead adopting a \u201cdifferent stance.\u201d \u201cThis exposes their dual character,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nClaiming that political equations in the Valley were shifting, Sharma said youth and political activists were joining the BJP in large numbers.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_35364\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-35364\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-35364\" src=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/640651073_1495100769291900_4216667502787778485_n-300x157.jpg\" alt=\"Article 370 is history, NC misleading people: LoP\" width=\"300\" height=\"157\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/640651073_1495100769291900_4216667502787778485_n-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/640651073_1495100769291900_4216667502787778485_n-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/640651073_1495100769291900_4216667502787778485_n-549x287.jpg 549w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/640651073_1495100769291900_4216667502787778485_n-470x246.jpg 470w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/640651073_1495100769291900_4216667502787778485_n-233x122.jpg 233w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/640651073_1495100769291900_4216667502787778485_n-230x120.jpg 230w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/640651073_1495100769291900_4216667502787778485_n-360x188.jpg 360w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/640651073_1495100769291900_4216667502787778485_n-100x52.jpg 100w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/640651073_1495100769291900_4216667502787778485_n.jpg 785w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-35364\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Article 370 is history, NC misleading people: LoP<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SRINAGAR, Feb 21: Leader of Opposition Sunil Sharma today launched a sharp attack on the Omar Abdullah-led Government, accusing it of \u201cmisleading people\u201d in the name of \u201cspecial status\u201d and failing the youth of Jammu and Kashmir on key promises, particularly employment. \u201cArticle 370 is history.
