New Delhi, Oct 29 (NationPress) Singer and BJP candidate representing the Alinagar Assembly constituency in Bihar, Maithili Thakur, has vehemently criticized RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav’s latest election commitment, which promises that every household in Bihar will secure a government job should his party gain power. She termed this assertion as nothing but ‘impractical magic’.
In her pointed remarks, Thakur emphasized that such declarations are unrealistic and merely serve to mislead the populace.
“It’s beyond my comprehension how every household could possibly obtain a government job. The government has its own constraints when it comes to employment,” she remarked.
“For genuine job creation and opportunities in Bihar, we must prioritize establishing industries. The notion that every household will secure a government job resembles magic—it’s simply unfeasible,” she continued.
Thakur’s comments emerge as unemployment remains a critical challenge in Bihar, with various political factions proposing differing strategies for job creation.
While the BJP emphasizes industrial investment and skill development, the RJD leans towards broad promises focused on direct government employment.
In a recent rally, Tejashwi Yadav pledged that “not a single household in Bihar will lack a government job.”
He assured that if elected, his government would enact a law within 20 days guaranteeing at least one government job per family, with implementation promised within 20 months.
This pledge, featured in the RJD-led Mahagathbandhan’s manifesto titled 'Bihar Ka Tejashwi Pran', has elicited both excitement and skepticism among voters and political analysts.
Critics contend that Bihar’s fiscal and administrative framework cannot support such extensive recruitment, while supporters regard it as an ambitious initiative to combat unemployment.
The political climate in Bihar is intensifying as the state gears up for the forthcoming Assembly elections on November 6 and 11, with results expected on November 14.
