Bhopal: Former chief minister Kamal Nath on Thursday claimed that the Shivraj government is making false promises regarding employment generation in the state. Nath’s allegations came a day after the government observed Rozgar Diwas (Employment Day) and the chief minister said that 5.5 lakh youth have been given assistance under various schemes so that they could become self-reliant.
Taking to Twitter on Thursday, Nath said, “For the past 16 years, Shivraj government has been giving false assurances regarding employment. Even now, false claims are being made about job fairs, and employment are figures. Claims have been made over the past several months about giving employment to one lakh persons per month. False promises of recruitment to fill the backlog and vacant posts are also being made for several years.”
He said that the number of unemployed youths registered in the state has reached close to 34 lakh. “Recently we saw 11082
highly-educated persons applying for 15 posts of peon, driver, gardener and sweeper in Gwalior court.
For 25 positions of driver and peon in Ujjain court, 9500 persons applied and in Indore, there was slogan shouting for jobs during the chief minister’s interaction with the students.
These incidents reflect the poor employment situation in the state, “It is a shame that even after this, instead of accepting the truth, Shivraj government is making false claims,” @OfficeOfKNath said.
