Bhupinder Singh Hooda, former Chief Minister of Haryana and Leader of Opposition, has promised that the Congress party will address all pending recruitments and create one lakh new jobs if elected in the upcoming October 5 election. He assured that the process for filling vacancies, including police and Group-D positions, will commence immediately upon forming the government, overcoming the delays experienced under the BJP administration. Hooda criticized the BJP for misleading youth and failing to conduct timely recruitment exams, claiming they were entangled in bureaucratic delays and scams. The announcement follows the Election Commission's directive to defer exam results until after the elections, a move attributed to a complaint from Congress. Hooda emphasized that Congress would implement merit-based recruitment processes and issue a job calendar to ensure transparency. His statements resonate with the ongoing youth agitation for timely employment opportunities in the state.
