Chandigarh, September 24
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has questioned the claim of the ruling Congress to provide jobs to 2.5 lakh youth of Punjab under its ‘Ghar Ghar Rozgar’ programme.
AAP spokesperson and RTI activist Dinesh Chadha claimed he had called on the mobile numbers taken from the Punjab Government’s portal, which claimed to have provided employment under the scheme, and found the government claims to be false.
He claimed the owner of a firm in Rohtak and Parwanoo denied advertising for 120 vacancies. Similarly, a Pune firm expressed shock over the requirement of 400 mechanic trainees. A similar reply was received regarding the vacancy of 30 technical experts in a Pathankot-based software firm.
AAP said the Congress in its manifesto had promised to provide employment to 50 lakh youth under Ghar Ghar Rozgar, but now even the figure of providing 2.5 lakh jobs seems fudged.
Chadha demanded that the Punjab Government should also upload the details of the youth who got jobs under the scheme. Chadha sought action against those who created fake data and shared the employment policy with the youth. — TNS
