Patna: BJP leader and road construction minister Nitin Nabin called the job fair organised by Congress in Patna on Saturday just an election gimmick.
The minister alleged that Congress was playing a political fraud with dreams and hopes of youth.
"Congress is not concerned about the employment of the youth of Bihar, but about the employment of its leader Rahul Gandhi.
The people of Bihar understand this election trick very well," he said.
"The reality is that in the job fair, Congress leaders were asking the aspirants about their assembly constituencies. Congress should clarify whether the candidates' qualification was being considered for giving jobs or it was vote-bank politics? Was it a job fair or an election survey form?" the BJP MLA from Bankipore asked.
He said the BJP-ruled states have played a big role in real employment generation in the past years. "In Haryana, only 86,067 govt jobs were given during the Congress rule (2005-14), while this number increased to 1.43 lakh during the BJP govt (2014-24), and about 1.60 crore formal employment opportunities were created," Nitin said.
"The NDA govt, which does the politics of development, is with the youth, and we are not just providing employment, but shaping their future," he added.
