NC government completes 1 year of blatant betrayal: Tarun Chugh

Jammu, Oct 16: BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh lashed out at the NC-Congress Alliance government for completing one year in office, calling it a “regime of deception and false promises.”

In a statement, Chugh said that the NC leadership has “misled the people with tall guarantees during the 2024 Assembly elections but failed to deliver even the basic commitments.” He pointed out that the promise of 12 free LPG cylinders to poor households has not moved beyond speeches and statements. “Women are still running their kitchens on costly gas while the government hides behind excuses,” Chugh said.

He added that NC had claimed 200 units of free power and relief from arrears, but the reality on the ground is continued power cuts, inflated bills, and no sign of arrear waivers. “Instead of relief, they have pushed ordinary families deeper into hardship,” he remarked.

Chugh highlighted that the promise of one lakh jobs and the enactment of a Youth Employment Generation Act within three months stands completely abandoned. “Our youth feel deceived—no Act, no jobs, only political rhetoric,” he stressed. He further said that NC made big claims about free public transport for women, but beyond a handful of routes in Srinagar and Jammu, women still pay fares. “What was projected as empowerment has been reduced to tokenism,” Chugh said.
