New Delhi: BJP MP Varun Gandhi on Thursday, December 2 highlighted the lack of government employment opportunities for young people and asked how long they should keep patience.

“First, there are no government jobs. Still, if some opportunity comes along then the paper is leaked, if exam is taken then there is no result for years, or it is cancelled due to some scam. Over 1.25 crore youngsters are waiting for the railway group D job result for two years. Same is the case with Army recruitment. Until when should the youth of India keep patient?” he tweeted in Hindi.

The Pilibhit Lok Sabha MP has been critical of the government’s handling of economic and employment issues without directly targeting the central dispensation.

Gandhi recently took to Twitter to express his discontent regarding the Uttar Pradesh government’s decision to cancel the Uttar Pradesh Teacher Eligibility Test (UPTET) amidst reports of a paper leak last month.

He said, “UPTET exam paper leak is like playing with the future of lakhs of youth. Action on small fish of this swamp will not work. Government should take strict action against the education mafia and their political patrons. Most of the educational institutions are owned by political influencers, when will action be taken against them?”
