Assam govt fulfils poll promise of providing 1Lakh jobs

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Thursday said the BJP has already fulfilled its electoral promise of providing one lakh government jobs in the state. He was speaking at a function after distributing appointment letters to 300 newly recruited employees in Guwahati. "Not only has the state government fulfilled the promise, but also we have surpassed it, recruiting an additional 24,645 candidates," Sarma said.The chief minister also spoke about the ongoing semiconductor plant at Jagiroad, urging Assam’s youth to seize the opportunities it would bring.He claimed the recent recruitment has been entirely based on merit, upholding transparency throughout the process.

असम में केवल योग्यता के आधार पर 1 लाख से अधिक सरकारी नौकरियां देना मेरे लिए राजनीतिक गड्ढा खोदने के समान था, क्योंकि इसका मतलब था कि नियुक्तियों में विधायकों और नेताओं की सिफारिशों के अधिकार को समाप्त करना। लेकिन एक नए असम के निर्माण के लिए हमने यह जोखिम भी उठाया।#1lakhJobs pic.twitter.com/KMCV9Xeckr
