Mayawati Questions UP Governments Job Announcement for Youth

Lucknow, August 27: Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati has raised questions regarding the Uttar Pradesh government’s announcement to provide one lakh government jobs to youth in the next six months. She stated that this announcement appears to be more of an electoral tactic. Mayawati emphasized that the appointments should be free from issues like paper leaks and corruption to avoid being perceived as a mere electoral gimmick.

In a post on the social media platform ‘X’, Mayawati wrote, “The Uttar Pradesh government’s announcement of providing one lakh government jobs in the next six months (i.e., before the assembly elections) seems to be a delayed but more electoral step.”

She further stated, “If these appointments are completed on time and free from the curses of paper leaks and corruption, it would be appropriate to ensure that this does not turn out to be an electoral deception. Additionally, people are eagerly waiting for a government announcement regarding the backlog of reserved posts for SC, ST, and OBC communities.”

Mayawati also addressed the issue of protesting candidates, mentioning, “Around 6,800 candidates from these categories are continuously protesting for their appointments in the 69,000 teacher recruitment, concerning the reservation rules. The government should consider their plight with empathy, as only the government can provide them with real relief.”

She reiterated the BSP’s continuous demand for improving the deteriorating state of school education in Uttar Pradesh and across the country. Mayawati noted that there has been some unwanted movement at the government level under the pressure of ‘Gen-Z’ and ‘Gen-Alpha’. While this is minor, it would be appropriate if it is done with genuine intent to improve school education. In this context, nearly 30,000 government schools have been shut down, and the government should promptly arrange to reactivate them properly for the public interest.

Mayawati also responded to the free bus travel scheme for elderly women in Uttar Pradesh, stating, “The arrangement for free travel for elderly women in buses is far less important than the need for governments to work with genuine intent and policy to protect women from exploitation, atrocities, and oppression in all areas, as well as to ensure their safety, respect, and self-reliance.”
