BJP to hold legislature party meeting tomorrow: LoP Sharma

Srinagar, Oct 22: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Jammu& Kashmir has called a meeting of its legislatures on Thursday morning in Srinagar to chalk out a strategy for the autumn session of the Legislative Assembly.

BJP in a statement said that Leader of the Opposition (LoP) and party's senior leader Sunil Kumar Sharma will chair a meeting of all BJP legislators to formulate a strategy to corner the government on a range of issues. “We are holding a meeting tomorrow at 8:30 AM to discuss the issues to be raised during the session,” said Sunil Sharma.

Sharma had earlier stated that the BJP would demand accountability from the National Conference-led government for what he described as a “betrayal of electoral promises.” “The government has failed to deliver on its commitments made during the elections, whether it is the promise of 200 free units of electricity, 12 LPG cylinders per household, or other assurances given to the people,” Sharma said.

Sunil Sharma further added that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would question the government on its inability to create employment opportunities for the youth. “In the election, the government promised to create one lakh jobs for the youth, but they have done nothing. We will ask them what they have done for the youth in the past year,” he said.
