CM Yogi Adityanath will soon hold meeting in this regard with chiefs of all commissions and recruitment boards, said a UP govt spokesperson. He said that the recruitment would be conducted in a manner similar to the transparent and fair recruitment done in the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) and others.

During Corona crisis, about 1.25 crore people were given employment, the UP CMO told the press.

Even as Yogi govt goes whole hog to create job opportunities in times of Corona, the Opposition voices are unsparing and unrelenting.

Yesterday, on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday, workers of Samajwadi Party and the Congress staged protests against the BJP government on the issue of “rising” unemployment.

Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also targeted the Yogi government, saying that if government doesn’t mend its way, the youth will throw the government.

In a tweet in Hindi, Priyanka Gandhi said, “Demands of youth are exams on time, results on time, joining without going to a court, increase in jobs, contract law to be abolished.”

“Youth has risen and if the government does not change its way and attitude then the youths will remove the government,” she tweeted.
