Nobody got govt jobs without bribe in Cong tenure: Assam CM Sarma

By Business Standard - 2 months ago
Alleging that nobody during the Congress rule in Assam got government jobs without paying a bribe, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday said he is aiming at providing employment to two lakh youths in his tenure. Addressing a function to hand over financial assistance to young entrepreneurs, he said already 1.4 lakh youths have got jobs in the state since he assumed charge as the CM. "The youths during the Congress rule could not believe that they would get government jobs without paying a bribe. Even for low-paying jobs, they were required to pay Rs 1 crore of bribe," he claimed. For the chairman post of the Assam Public Service Commission (APSC), the Congress government had chosen those who could "collect money" from job aspirants, Sarma alleged. "An era full of thorns has passed. Now, we have been able to conduct recruitment tests transparently without any bribe," he added. The CM said that 1.4 lakh youths have already "got government jobs against its target of one lakh"
