INDIA bloc will open 'closed doors' of jobs for youth: Rahul Gandhi
The Hindu
In a post in Hindi on X, Mr. Gandhi said, “Youth of the country, note one thing! Narendra Modi’s intention is not to provide employment. Far from creating new posts, he is also sitting on the vacant posts of the Central government.”
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on March 4 hit out at the Narendra Modi government for "not filling up" vacant posts and asserted that it is the INDIA bloc's resolve to open the "closed doors" of jobs for the youth.
Mr. Gandhi alleged that Prime Minister Modi's intention is not to provide employment.
In a post in Hindi on X, Mr. Gandhi said, "Youth of the country, note one thing! Narendra Modi's intention is not to provide employment. Far from creating new posts, he is also sitting on the vacant posts of the Central government."
"If we consider the data presented by the Central government in Parliament, then 9,64,000 posts are vacant in 78 departments. If we look at important departments only, 2.93 lakh posts are vacant in the railways, 1.43 lakh in the home ministry and 2.64 lakh in the defence ministry," the former Congress president said.
Does the Central government have the answer as to why more than 30% posts are vacant in 15 major departments, he asked.
"Why are a large number of very important posts vacant in the office of the prime minister, who is carrying a 'bag of false guarantees'?" Mr. Gandhi asked.
The BJP government, which considers giving permanent jobs as a burden, is continuously promoting a contract system, where there is neither security nor respect, he alleged.

As the chequered path of succession will be discussed, throwing several names from the Pawar family and outside the Pawar family in the ring, speculations on whether his wife Sunetra Pawar will emerge as the dark horse, have also emerged.
