Patna: On Tuesday, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the distribution of appointment letters through the ‘Rozgar Mela’.
The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader took a jibe at the PM who handed over the appointment letters, saying, “How many jobs are they (BJP government) giving to the people of this country?”
Earlier on Tuesday, PM Modi distributed 71,056 appointment letters to the recruits through video conferencing, saying that the employment fair shows the commitment of the Center to provide government jobs to the youth. Taking a dig at the PM, Tejashwi Yadav said, ‘Despite giving appointment letters, the central government has failed to provide jobs to the youth of the country.’
On the steps taken by the ruling alliance of RJD and Janata Dal (United) to create employment opportunities in the state, the Deputy CM said, “Under the leadership of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, new avenues of employment are opening up for the youth and A large number of appointment letters will be handed over in the coming days.”
The Bihar government appointed 11,329 new panchayat secretaries earlier this month. Also, 10,459 new police recruits got appointment letters in November. In October, over 75,000 central government appointees were handed over appointment letters by the PM under the job fair.
On the allegation by the BJP’s Leader of Opposition in the Bihar Assembly, Samrat Choudhary, that of 11,329 new panchayat secretaries by the state, only a few received appointment letters, Tejashwi Yadav retorted, “How many jobs have they given to the vast population of this country?”
He further targeted the BJP saying that those who preach violence are now making baseless claims against his government. Asked about his father and former CM Lalu Prasad Yadav, who is about to receive a kidney transplant from his daughter, Tejashwi Yadav said, “He will be leaving for Singapore by the end of this month for his treatment.”
The RJD chief was not keeping well in the recent past and the doctors treating him recently advised a kidney transplant. The former chief minister will receive a kidney from his daughter Rohini and will go to Singapore for the transplant.
On the upcoming assembly by-elections in Bihar, Tejashwi Yadav said, “We will soon start the campaign for the by-elections.”
National President Janata Dal (United), Lalan Singh on Sunday informed the CM and Deputy CM that he would soon visit Kurhani constituency to campaign for the assembly bypolls.
