The Wire Staff
New Delhi: Congress leader and Rajya Sabha MP Randeep Singh Surjewala on Thursday (June 19) launched an attack on the Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini-led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in Haryana, accusing it of withdrawing advertisements for 8,000 jobs which were promised before the assembly elections last year.
“HSSC withdrew a total of 8,653 Group C jobs including 5,600 in police. On August 14, 2024, three hours before the announcement of the assembly (election), Shri Nayab Saini announced these jobs, showed big dreams, even said that till these jobs are not created, I will not take oath as CM, but everything turned out to be a lie. Now Nayab Saini ji laughs, tells jokes, enjoys the helicopter and the youth are knocking door to door for their future,” Surjewala wrote on X.

Surjewala added that the jobs that were taken back included 5,666 jobs of Haryana Police, 1,838 jobs of stenographer, 535 jobs of draftsman/assistant draftsman, 319 jobs of auto diesel mechanic and 180 jobs of fitter/press mechanic etc.
“Just before the 2024 elections, 50,000 jobs were promised through HKRN, i.e. Kaushal Nigam, and they garnered a lot of votes. Now, after the elections, 4,000 HKRN youths have been sacked and a sword is hanging over the rest,” said Surjewala.
Responding to the allegations, Chief Minister Saini’s media secretary Praveen Attrey told The Hindu that Congress leaders arbitrarily gave away jobs when in power and also publicly announced to sell jobs during the election campaign, and now seemed worried because the BJP government had given around 1.75 lakh jobs on merit.
“Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini had given away appointment letters to 24,000 youth before taking the oath of the office. Soon more people will be given jobs through Common Entrance Test. The Chief Minister is fulfilling the promises made during the election,” said Attrey, reported the newspaper.
