Congress offered one job for 50 votes; their base completely eroded– Chief Minister
New Delhi : Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said that the state government is committed to providing employment to the youth purely on the basis of merit and without any kharchi-parchi. As part of this commitment, recruitment will soon be conducted in the Police department. He encouraged youth to begin their preparations in earnest.
Addressing gatherings during his visit to various villages in Kurukshetra district, the Chief Minister highlighted that the CET Group-C examination was successfully conducted by the Haryana Staff Selection Commission. An impressive 13.5 lakh youth applied for the exam and for the first time, over 90 percent attendance was recorded, a clear indication that young people trust the fairness and transparency of the current recruitment process.
He recalled how, under previous governments, job seekers were often forced to seek recommendations from MLAs or ministers and bear unnecessary expenses. In contrast, the present government has eliminated such practices and ensured merit-based selections.
The Chief Minister further said that nearly 7,500 youths were provided employment through final results announced this month. Within a week, the newly selected candidates and their families will be invited for a special interaction program. He shared that deserving candidates from underprivileged backgrounds are now being selected for prestigious posts like HCS and HPS, purely on the basis of merit and without any kharchi-parchi. Also, 58 meritorious youth from the state have recently been selected for IAS posts.
Taking a dig at the Congress, he said that during elections, its leaders made absurd promises, including offering one job in exchange for 50 votes and distributing government jobs as if per their share in jobs. Due to this mindset, Congress party base is eroded, both in Haryana and across the country. There is no sign of any revival for them in the near future, he remarked.
He also criticized the opposition for lacking genuine issues and indulging in baseless propaganda. Before the last Assembly elections, results for 25,000 job posts were ready, but opposition leaders moved the Election Commission and courts to stall the process. When the youth raised this concern with him, I assured them that they would be given joining letters before I assumed office and I kept that promise, he added.
