BJP Targets Omar Govt Over Delay in Appointing JKBOSE Chairman, Flags ‘Favouritism’
Srinagar: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Jammu and Kashmir has launched a sharp attack on the Omar Abdullah-led government, accusing it of favouritism and administrative apathy for failing to appoint a permanent Chairman to the Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (JKBOSE) even after nearly a year, a delay the party says is putting students’ futures at risk.
In a statement as per news agency Kashmir News Corner — KNC, BJP said that despite the passage of nearly one year, the government has failed to appoint a regular Chairman for JKBOSE, raising serious concerns about governance and the future of students.
The party questioned the Omar government over the prolonged delay, asking why no permanent appointment has been made in an entire year and who would be held accountable if students’ careers are adversely affected due to administrative uncertainty.
BJP further alleged that the delay was deliberate, claiming that instead of appointing a competent and deserving candidate, the government was allegedly attempting to accommodate its close associates.
“This is not merely a delay but a clear reflection of the Omar government’s flawed priorities and political interference in crucial educational institutions,” the party said, adding that such practices were detrimental to the academic interests of lakhs of students.
The BJP demanded immediate appointment of a permanent JKBOSE Chairman on merit, warning that continued inaction would further expose what it termed as the government’s “misgovernance and political favoritism.” (KNC)
