|Vijaypur, Dec 06 |15: Senior State Vice President National Conference and former minister Surjeet Singh Slathia on Sunday assailed the PDP-BJP alliance for letting down people, especially youth, saying growing public disenchantment is reflection of the failures on all the fronts. “The youth are dismayed while the people belonging to all segments of society are at the receiving end due to mis-governance and non-performance of the government”, Slathia said while addressing a day-long convention of the Youth National Conference workers at Vijaypur. The convention was attended by the workers from all over the Samba district who discussed problems pertaining to the youth and overall situation arising in the wake of vision-less policies of the present dispensation. Slathia said the tall claims of the present dispensation have got exposed, as the coalition partners were working at cross purposes with public interest taking rear seat. “The government which can conveniently forget the promises made to the people soon after taking over the reins of administration cannot be trusted”, he said adding that BJP and PDP have proven it beyond any doubt that they have joined hands just for the lust of power. To hide their failures, he said both the coalition partners were indulging in diversionary tactics by inciting religious and regions passions. Slathia said that the contradictions between the two coalition partners have accumulated, as a result of which development has been pushed to backburner, welfare schemes almost abandoned and the utility services left unattended. He expressed anguish over scarcity of rations at the depots, erratic power and water supply besides delay in providing relief to the rain and flood hit people of Vijaypur constituency. The former minister referred to the growing unemployment problem and lamented over the government showing insensitivity towards their sufferings and said the coalition from day one adopted anti-youth policies which were reflected in the introduction of the ill-conceived job policy.
