Giving details, Bikram Majithia said it was condemnable that Captain Amarinder had taken a holy oath to provide jobs to each and every household and even got forms filled by the youth in this regard.
“However jobs have only given to ‘crorepati’ Congressmen be it the family of former chief minister Beant Singh whose grandson was recruited as a DSP, wards of Congress MLAs Fatehjang Bajwa and Rakesh Pandey who have been appointed as Inspector and Naib Tehsildar respectively and son in law of cabinet minister Gurpreet Kangar who was given out of turn appointment as an Assistant ETO,” he said.
He said in direct contrast the government had refused to give government jobs as promised to kin of 2,000 farmer suicide victims, 500 Kisan Andolan martyrs, or even para Olympians. “Even thousands of contractual employees are still awaiting regularization of their services as promised to them”.
