RYF CONFERENCE

Kshiti Goswami at RYF state meet in Cooch Behar

The three-day state conference of the Revolutionary Youth Front (RYF), the youth wing of the RSP, started at Rabindra Bhavan in Cooch Behar on Friday.

The open session of the eleventh state conference has been held at Shahid Baag in Cooch Behar on Friday afternoon.

Organising of movements on demands like launching of National Youth Policy and job guarantee for all unemployed youths are likely to be adopted at the three-day state conference, RYF leaders said.

Two central committee members of the RSP – Mr Kshiti Goswami and Mr Biswanath Chaudhury, Alipurduar MP Mr Manohar Tirkey, Alipurduar MLA Mr Nirmal Das and other senior RSP and RYF leaders spoke at the gathering that was organised on the occasion.

Mr Kshiti Goswami, who is also the Public Works Department minister, slammed at Trinamul Congress chief Miss Mamata Banerjee without naming her. He said, "We also want change but inauguration of a railway station or a ticket booking counter should not be judged as a change. The decaying values and corrupt system should be changed. The youths have every right to question the elders on what they did during their time."

Mildly criticising the Left Front government's policies, Mr Goswami raised the issues like Singur, Nandigram, SEZ and Nayachar and commented that those initiatives were taken without thinking about the future effect. A number of Primary Teachers Training Institutes were launched but there were irregularities. Now, the offenders should face punishment because the primary schools and its students are suffering due to lack of teachers, as there are many vacant posts of teachers in many schools.

The Left Front came to power with many promises but many of those promises are yet to be implemented and so the youths turned disillusioned. Youths of the new generation should rectify the errors committed by the seniors, he opined.
