Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the National Rozgar Mela via video conferencing today and distributed about 70,000 appointment letters to newly inducted recruits in various Government departments and organizations.
He drew the battle lines between the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party and the Opposition, asserting that the country will now decide whether the future of its youth will be shaped by dynastic parties that exploited them through job “rate cards,” or by his government, which is diligently working to safeguard their prospects.
Using a rozgar mela (employment fair) as his platform, Modi launched a scathing attack on Congress and other opposition parties. He linked their previous stints in power with political corruption, nepotism, and malpractice in various schemes, including the recruitment process. Simultaneously, he credited his own government for ushering in an era of transparency and efficiency in employment procedures.
Modi accused certain parties of weaponizing language to spread conflict and division, while his government has been using it to create employment opportunities and empower the people. Although no names were mentioned, he subtly referenced reports of “rate cards” for government jobs in West Bengal, ruled by the Trinamool Congress, as well as the prevalent issue of “cut money” in the state.
The Prime Minister also took a swipe at Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Lalu Prasad Yadav, highlighting a criminal case against him for obtaining land from impoverished farmers in exchange for jobs when he was the former railway minister.
During the event, where over 70,000 appointment letters were distributed to newly-recruited government employees, Modi expressed how dynastic parties had betrayed the youth by promoting corruption and nepotism in the recruitment process. He emphasized the transformation brought about by his government, wherein what used to take one to one-and-a-half years for recruitment now happens transparently within a few months.
Modi declared that India is now a more stable, secure, and robust country compared to a decade ago, with decisiveness becoming the government’s hallmark. He attributed political corruption and malpractice in schemes as the previous governments’ identity.
Highlighting the availability of new employment opportunities in both the private and public sectors, Modi mentioned initiatives like the Mudra Yojana, Start-Up India, and Stand Up India, which provide avenues for self-employment. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic and disruptions in the supply chain due to the Ukraine conflict, he expressed confidence in India’s economy reaching new heights.
The Prime Minister criticized rival parties for having “rate cards” for jobs and seeking “cut money,” while his government is focused on safeguarding the youth’s future. He assured the audience that the government works to protect their dreams, capabilities, and aspirations, contrasting it with the detrimental effects of rate cards.
Responding to accusations from certain South Indian parties about promoting Hindi at the expense of regional languages, Modi accused them of using the issue to create conflict and division. He emphasized that the government aims to provide employment opportunities and empower individuals through language, ensuring that no language becomes a barrier to fulfilling dreams. Modi highlighted the importance of conducting exams in regional languages to allow the youth to showcase their abilities effortlessly.
As Modi distributed appointment letters to over 4.3 lakh people during the rozgar mela, he highlighted that this was a critical period for those entering government roles. He mentioned the Azadi Ka Amrit Kaal (75 years of Independence), urging the new recruits to work towards making India a developed country within the next 25 years.
Since its launch last year, the rozgar mela has been an instrumental platform for Modi’s government to recruit personnel, with over 10 lakh positions targeted for filling across various ministries and departments in a mission-oriented manner.
