Jaipur: Much to the discomfort of the ruling BJP, a short film based on the problems of the unemployed youths in Rajasthan will be released on October 21. The film was made two years ago, but the BJP government had banned it.
Dastan-e-Berojgar (Story of Jobless) has been made by the unemployed youths under the banner of “Rajasthan Berojgar Ekikrit Mahasangh”. “The film will be released on two YouTube channels on October 21,” said Upen Yadav, the state president of the Mahasangh.
The film depicts the struggles of the youths for job and their sorry state. “The BJP government was not comfortable with this film since it failed to fulfil the promise of providing 15 lakh jobs in five years,” he alleged.
Prior to the Assembly election in 2013, BJP had promised 15 lakh jobs if it came to power. After keeping silent for three years, it began to claim that jobs were being created as promised but steadfastly refused to provide evidence to support its claim.
To rub salt to injury, when Mr Yadav went to give a memorandum to BJP state president Madan Lal Saini, the latter told him that he was only interested in creating “ruckus”. “I bet you won’t be able to stop your tears after watching the pain and agony of a jobless young man in the film. It is not just about financial hardship, but also the mental stress they suffer because of an insensitive and careless system,” Mr Yadav said while requesting people to watch it.
The Rajasthan Berojgar Ekikrit Mahasangh has already formed an army of 1 lakh volunteers, who would campaign against BJP for not just making false promises, but also for its insensitiveness in dealing with them.
