The Congress members staged a protest against the State Government accusing it of failing to work for the welfare of the people. The protesters raised issues like unemployment, the scam in forest guard recruitment exam and rising inflation, for which the said that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led government in the state is responsible.
While addressing the crowd, the Pradesh Congress Committee president Pritam Singh said that the BJP Government has broken the back of the common people with inflation. The Central Government is causing hardships to the citizens with its anti-public decisions.
He stated that the increase in the prices of LPG cylinders twice since the beginning of the year has proved that the current BJP Government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is not concerned about the interests of poor people.
Apart from holding the State Government responsible for inflation and unemployment in the State, Singh accused the State Government of being involved in the scam in the Forest Guard examination too. Singh said that the number of unemployed youths is increasing alarmingly and those who study hard for jobs and give examinations like Forest Guard exam are scammed by the Uttarakhand Subordinate Service Selection Commission (UKSSSC).
According to the members of Congress party, the State Government has failed on every front. The business of traders is wrecked, and the farmers are being forced to commit suicide.
Besides, to add to the woes of the common people, the Government has raised the fare of the transport corporation buses, hiked the prices of electricity, water, and cooking gas, said the PCC president.
The Congress party will launch a movement against such anti-people policies of the BJP Government across the state, he added.
