The youth wing of the Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party, the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha, on Saturday questioned the credentials of Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh’s son Vikramaditya, who has been allotted a pilot car by the State police.
State BJYM chief Sunil Thakur and other offices-bearers of the organisation said those holding constitutional posts such as the State Governor, High Court Chief Justice, Chief Minister and the Assembly Speaker are given a pilot car in the State. But the Chief Minister’s son, who is not even an elected ward member or a Panchayat representative, is driving all over the State escorted by a police-driven pilot car, alleged the BJYM.
The BJYM has also questioned the deployment of Deputy Commissioners and Sub Divisional Magistrates in the districts who report to the Chief Minister’s son on his tours. He is not a chairman of any government owned Board or Corporation in the State, said the BJYM.
Mr. Vikramaditya Singh is also invited as a chief guest for various functions conducted by the State Labour and Employment Department. These “Rozgar Melas” (employment fairs) for the youth are being organised at the behest of State Youth Congress that is headed by the Chief Minister’s son here.
While condemning this act of the Virbhadra government, the BJYM leaders led by Mr.Thakur also reminded the government of its promise made in the election manifesto to provide an unemployment allowance to about 10 lakh jobless youth of the State. Instead of doing something for them, the Chief Minister is promoting his own son, alleged the BJYM.
