Delhi Congress president Anil Kumar demanded the AAP Government to provide Rs 7,000 per month unemployment allowance to the 13 lakh youth registered with the Government portal set up by it during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Congress Delhi unit president said that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had promised10 guarantees to people of Delhi before the 2020 Assembly elections just like he made a six-point guarantee to the people of ‘Dev Bhoomi’, Uttarakhand.
“Delhi Chief Minister had promised eight lakh jobs in five years to the youth of Delhi, but after being in power for seven years, just 440 youth got jobs given while 84 per cent jobs in the employment department are lying vacant. Kejriwal had also guaranteed in-situ flats for the JJ cluster dwellers on “as-is-where-is basis” but his Minister announced recently that Delhi Government would not give flats to the JJ Clusters, and the in-situ flats constructed by the Congress Government would be put on rent,” he said.
Kumar also said that the AAP national convener has also promised to set up “Employment and Migrant Ministry” in Uttarakhand though he had done nothing when lakhs of migrant workers walked to their native villages in Bihar, UP and Uttarakhand when they lost jobs and livelihoods during the Covid-19 pandemic.
