Karnataka BJP President and MLA B.Y. Vijayendra accused Chief Minister Siddaramaiah of providing misleading information about the number of government job appointments during the Congress government’s tenure. Vijayendra highlighted discrepancies between the official data presented in the Legislative Assembly, showing 8,157 recruitments, and the Chief Minister’s claim of 40,000 filled posts, labeling it as false. He emphasized the need for accurate information to prevent frustration among unemployed youth.
Vijayendra urged the Congress government to expedite pending recruitment processes and address job aspirants’ concerns. He criticized the spreading of false claims and called for the immediate filling of vacant government positions to provide justice to unemployed youth. In response to protests by job aspirants in Dharwad, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah emphasized the government’s efforts to fill vacancies, attributing the backlog to previous inaction under the BJP-led government.
Thousands of students, BJP activists, and unemployed youths protested in Dharwad, demanding the prompt filling of vacant government posts. Leader of Opposition R. Ashoka criticized the state government for failing to address unemployment despite having clearance to fill thousands of vacant positions. He highlighted the significant number of vacant government posts in Karnataka and the delay in conducting interviews for approved recruitments.
