Among the promises made by Tejashwi, giving government jobs to lakhs of unemployed youth is one, which he says will be given at his first cabinet meeting, assuming he is elected.
Bihar CM Nitish Kumar’s main challenger and Chief Ministerial face of the RJD, Tejashwi Yadav announced his 10 promises that he will fulfill if the people of Bihar elect his government. This development comes a day after Bihar CM Nitish Kumar unveiled what he called the “Saath Nischay Part 2“, or the sequel to seven poll promises he made in the last Assembly election.
Among the promises made by Tejashwi, giving government jobs to lakhs of unemployed youth is one, which he says will be given at his first cabinet meeting, assuming he is elected.
“If RJD gets the opportunity to form the government then in the first cabinet meeting, with the first signature, 10 lakh jobs will be given. This is not just a promise… These will be permanent government jobs,” the RJD leader said.
Making the announcement at a press conference in Patna today, Tejashwi said more than 22 lakh young men and women had already registered on his “bedojgari hatao” web portal. Around 13 lakh had registered via missed calls out of the 22 lakh.
The elections in Bihar will take place from 28 October, spanning three phases of voting.
To back his promise, Tejashwi also provided some data to suggest a way to tackle the unemployment crisis in the state.
“Bihar has a population of close to 12.5 crores. Therefore, Bihar needs 1.25 lakh doctors and associated support staff. The health department needs 2.5 lakh staff. 50,000 posts in the police force are vacant, when the police-public ratio is at a minimum,” Tejashwi, son of former Bihar CM Lalu Prasad Yadav, said.
