YAD announces it will gherao CM and ministers demanding implementation of promises made to the youth
Punjab: The Youth Akali Dal (YAD) announced it would ‘gherao’ chief minister Captain Amarinder Singh as well as all Congress ministers and demand implementation of all promises made to the youth. YAD President Parambans Singh Romana said in the first phase of the agitation, YAD activists would ‘gherao’ the chief minister whenever he stepped out of his farmhouse and visited Punjab.
He said the youth would remind him of all the promises made to them as well as to the people of the State by taking a holy vow on the Gutka Sahab. “We will follow this up with ‘gherao’ of all Congress ministers whenever they step out of their houses. We will show the party manifestos to them and ask them why they are not implementing the promises made to the youth of Punjab”.
Parambans Romana said the YAD was constrained to take this action because, after nearly four years in power, the Congress government had not fulfilled a single promise made to the youth. He said the Congress party had promised a job in each household in Punjab under the ‘ghar ghar naukari’ scheme.
He said as per this scheme the government should create 52 lakh jobs to cover each household in the State. Romana said even now the Congress government was trying to befool the people with advertisements today promising youth 90,000 jobs next month. He said these jobs were in fact private sector opportunities that the government was trying to claim as their own.
The YAD President said the truth was that the government had neither offered any government jobs in the last four years nor offered an unemployment allowance of Rs 2,500 per month to the youth. He said besides this the Congress manifesto had promised unemployed youth to all youth who had passed the matric examination and were between the age of 18 and 34 years.

Saying the ‘Saade haq aithe rakh’ agitation would also cover other promises made to the youth, the YAD President the Congress party had also promised to facilitate youth to get one lakh taxis under the ‘apni gaddi apna rozgar’ scheme.
