The RJD leader continued saying, there is a difference between employment and job.

“A ragpicker is also employed but here we are talking about 10 lakh government jobs and it is set to become true during the first cabinet meeting itself. 4.5 lakh jobs are vacant in the healthcare services sector, the education department, etc. The post of seven per cent junior engineers are lying vacant,” he added.

“If we had to make fake promises like BJP and double-engine government, we would have promised to give 50 lakh or one crore jobs,’ he added.

“BJP will tell who is their CM face? Nitish Kumar? Nitish Kumar stood his hands-on providing 10 lakh jobs. So from where will BJP give the jobs? Nitish Kumar is leading, then who are they fooling around?
