‘One Govt Job For Every Household’: Tejashwi Yadav Makes Big Promise Ahead Of Bihar Election
Patna, India – With the Bihar Assembly elections drawing near, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav has made a significant promise, pledging a government job for at least one member of every household in the state if the opposition alliance, the INDIA bloc, is voted to power.
Yadav made the announcement at a press conference, stating that within 20 days of forming the government, a new law would be enacted to guarantee this employment. "There will be no home in Bihar without a job," he told the media. He emphasized his commitment to addressing unemployment in Bihar, a state grappling with significant economic challenges.
Highlighting the NDA's (National Democratic Alliance) alleged failure to provide jobs over the past two decades, Yadav pointed to his previous tenure, claiming that five lakh jobs were created during that time. He asserted that the INDIA bloc is committed to creating opportunities and ensuring that every family has a stable source of income.
The promise comes as a strategic move ahead of the high-stakes election, with unemployment being a major concern among voters. By focusing on job creation and economic empowerment, Yadav aims to resonate with a large section of the population, particularly the youth.
The RJD leader's announcement has sparked considerable debate, with supporters hailing it as a game-changing initiative and critics questioning its feasibility. Concerns have been raised about the financial implications of providing government jobs on such a large scale and the potential strain on state resources.
This promise is not the first time Yadav has focused on employment. In the 2020 elections, he promised 10 lakh government jobs if he came to power. While he did not win that election, the promise resonated with many voters and helped to make it a close race.
The Bihar Assembly elections are expected to be highly competitive, with the NDA, led by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, seeking to retain power. The INDIA bloc, led by Tejashwi Yadav, is mounting a strong challenge, hoping to capitalize on anti-incumbency sentiments and address key issues such as unemployment and development. The election results will determine whether Yadav's ambitious promise becomes a reality for the people of Bihar.
