Gujarat Congress President Jagdish Thakor said that youth in Gujarat are angry as eligible candidates are not able to procure government jobs as they are allotted to the people who are affiliated with the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP).
After the party office-bearers and Congress MLAs held a mock Assembly session in Hemu Gadhvi Hall, Rajkot, interacting with media, Thakor said, “In Gujarat, 11 question papers were leaked. More than 25 lakh youths used to apply (for government jobs). Despite having lost confidence in the government, 10 to 12 lakh of them are still filling forms and those eligible are not getting jobs. On the other hand, functionaries of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), page in charge, will get the jobs, says their honourable president. Anger is rising among the youth.
Thakor added that Congress conducted a mock Assembly session as the BJP government in the state was not allowing the Opposition time to discharge its duty in a democracy.
The Gujarat Subordinate Service Selection Board (GSSSB) conducted the written test for selecting 186 head clerks in various departments of the state government on December 12. Days later, a police case was registered in Sabarkantha district after receiving a complaint alleging that the question paper was leaked before the examination began. Police have arrested 28 persons, including candidates in the recruitment examination, in connection with the alleged leak. The state government also cancelled the head clerk recruitment examination after the question paper was leaked.
At the mock Assembly sessions, Congress leaders took pot-shots at the government over the leak of head clerk recruitment question paper, suspension of Congress MLAs from Assembly sessions and price rise.
