More than 50,000 posts in the government department are lying vacant at present- Jugran
Launching an attack on the BJP government on the issue of unemployment, the leader of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Ravindra Jugran has said that the BJP has only misguided the youth in the name of providing employment in the last four and half years of its rule. He was addressing the media persons here on Saturday.
He said that the BJP came to power in 2017 on the promise of providing employment but in the last four and half years the state is on the top in terms of unemployment percentage. “A report of Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) suggests that in the last five years, unemployment has seen a six fold increase. The BJP has done nothing other than changing the chief ministers,’’ he said.
Presenting the figures, the AAP leader said that more than 50,000 posts in the government department are lying vacant at present and the number of registered unemployed is more than eight lakhs now.
The AAP leader said that the process of filling 1218 posts of forest guards started in the year 2018 but it is still on and the scam in the examination has exposed the zero tolerance on corruption rhetoric of BJP. He added that the examination to appoint 2621 nurses in the health department has been postponed three times and five examinations of subordinate services selection commissions are stuck for quite some time. About 4.37 lakh unemployed people have been waiting for these examinations for the last six months.
The AAP leader said that the state government had promised to provide self employment to the youngsters who had returned back to their villages but this promise too has remained unfulfilled. He said that the PCS examination has not been conducted for the last four years and many applicants have become over aged while waiting for these examinations.
