launching a scathing attack on the BJP, senior Congress leader and Haryana MlA, Randeep Singh Surjewala on Monday said BJP Governments at Centre and in Haryana usurped power by misleading the youth with false promises of a bright future.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi promised two crore new jobs every year while Manohar lal Khattar Government promised employment to every youth of Haryana and a monthly unemployment allowance of Rs 6,000-Rs 9,000 to those who would not get a job, said Surjewala, who is also AICC media incharge.
He said a sense of betrayal and treachery had marked the three years of BJP rule for India’s and Haryana’s youth, yearning for a job and place in the society to contribute.
After three years, Haryana’s youth find themselves at a crossroad with no hope of livelihood or employment and with the future looking bleak in Khattar Government’s rule. Malfeasance, fraud and corruption in jobs have reached a nadir, he alleged.
lashing out at the Haryana Government, the Congress leader said, “In this entire web of deception and treachery, Khattar Government projects itself to be sometimes helpless (when it is incapable and incompetent) and at other times, there appears to be a complicity of the ruling dispensation.”
On recruitments in Haryana, Surjewala said, “In three years, Khattar Government could recruit a pittance of 7,886 jobs through HPSC and HSSC (1,160 jobs through HPSC and 6,726 jobs through HSSC), which is a glaring example of grave injustice done to Haryana’s youth.
As against this, nearly 20,000 youth have either been sacked or given a notice for termination of services. Services of 3,581 guest TGT teachers were terminated, but Supreme Court granted stay to them. 3,500 guest JBT teachers have been put on notice to be sacked, out of which 100 teachers from Panipat and Yamunanagar districts have already been terminated, said he.
Apart from this, 2,300 computer teachers and 2,622 computer lab assistants, whose services were terminated twice, have been taken back in July, 2017 after a prolonged agitation. Services of about 1,500 employees working in NHM and NRHM were also terminated. In addition, 5,000 daily wage/temporary employees working in PWD, Public Health Engineering, Irrigation, Forests and Food & Supplies departments have also been terminated, added the Congress leader.
Accusing the Khattar Government of becoming a “Paper leak Sarkar”, Surjewala said that corruption and scams, both in education and employment, is an everyday affair. Future of youth has been put under a dark cloud of uncertainty on account of the multiple paper leak scams committed in HPSC, HSSC, Police Recruitments, HBSE, HTET, AIPMT, NEET etc., he alleged.
He claimed that in Khattar Government, as many as 13 paper leak scams have been exposed. These included All India PMT Paper leak Scam (May 2015) involving an embezzlement of Rs 100 crore, HBSE Plus 2 English paper leak scam (March 2015), HTET paper leak scam (November, 2015), NEET paper leak scam (May 2017), HCS (Judicial) paper leak scam (July 2017) among others, said Surjewala.
Thus, the credibility of the entire Khattar Government is under a cloud. Malfeasance, frauds and corruption reached the highest level of administration with the kingpins of paper leak scams roaming scot-free, added he.
