Chandigarh: Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann presented his report card on completion of four years of the Aam Aadmi Party government. He said that his government has made many achievements in the fields of education, health and employment. Especially in terms of employment, this is the first time in Punjab that a government has provided 65,264 government jobs within 4 years.
CM Mann clarified that these jobs have been given to the people of every village without any discrimination, without recommendation and without any cash. He said that it has been the effort of his government that people from rural and backward areas can also avail the benefits of government jobs. This type of transparency and fairness has been seen for the first time in Punjab.
transparency in giving jobs
Bhagwant Mann insisted that his government did not discriminate in any way in giving jobs. He said that things like recommendation or bribe have been completely eliminated in the government recruitment process. Its direct effect was that people of every class and every region got employment opportunities. He said that such a policy has increased the confidence of the general public in government institutions and has facilitated the youth in getting employment.
CM Mann said that his government ensured distribution of jobs in every district and village. No eligible candidate was prevented from getting a job under this policy. He said that this model of providing employment is based on the principle of ‘trust-based governance’, in which public trust and transparency has been given priority.
CM Mann’s reaction on Raghav Chaddha case
Responding to the recent controversy of Raghav Chadha, CM Mann said that the leader of the Parliamentary Board keeps changing from time to time. When Aam Aadmi Party won the elections, first Gandhiji was the leader of the board and later he was given this responsibility. He said that if someone goes against the party whip, it is natural to take action against him.
CM Mann further said that cases have been registered against 160 party workers in Gujarat, and incidents like fake voting should be raised in the Rajya Sabha. He raised the question as to why Raghav Chadha is silent on such serious issues, and also clarified that it is natural to be suspicious.
Priority to employment and development
The Chief Minister in his speech also said that the main focus of the government has been to increase employment and empower the youth in Punjab. He said that the government has made the recruitment process in various departments simple and transparent. Its benefit was that the youth were able to easily get government jobs and the employment rate improved.
CM Mann said that his effort was to ensure that every decision was in the interest of the public. Citing examples of improvements in employment, education and health, he said that the government adopted fair and transparent policies at every level.
