Indira Bhalla, who was the Chief Guest, asserted that the BJP has not put forth any concrete policy for the youth of Jammu and Kashmir, except recruitment scams and exacerbating joblessness. She emphasized the critical importance of collective action and solidarity in shaping a prosperous and inclusive future for the youth of Jammu and Kashmir. She underscored the transformative potential of the INDIA Alliance, a coalition committed to fostering opportunities, empowerment, and holistic development for the young generation of the region.
