BHOPAL: Congress leader and former Union minister Pradeep Jain Aditya on Tuesday said if his party comes to power in Madhya Pradesh, it will waive the fees charged for government job recruitment exams in the state. The state assembly elections are scheduled on November 17.
Addressing a press conference, Jain claimed more than one crore youth in Madhya Pradesh were unemployed and only 40 lakh of them were registered with the government.
The BJP government in the state has collected more than Rs 100 crore as fees for recruitment exams from the poor job aspirants during the last 10 years, he further said.
Jain also claimed that 17,298 unemployed youth have committed suicide in the state in the last 18 years.
The Congress has decided that if it is elected to power, the fees for the government job recruitment examinations will be completely waived, Jain said.
The results of government recruitment exams, which have been withheld “deliberately”, will be announced, he said.
A commission will also be set up to conduct a probe into the withheld exam results, he said.
The Congress will conduct offline exams, instead of online, for the government jobs, Jain said.
He said the scams in recruitment exams, withholding of results and exam paper leak were the main reasons for unemployment in MP.
The Vyapam scam, ‘patwari’ (revenue department staffers) recruitment exam scam, irregularities in the recruitment of constables, among others have tarnished the image of the state, the Congress leader claimed.
