Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann Promises Jobs and Criticizes Previous Government
Chandigarh (Punjab) [India], September 7: Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann assured the youth of job security and criticized the previous government for neglecting them during an appointment letter distribution ceremony in Chandigarh on Saturday. A total of 293 people received their appointment letters to various departments in the ceremony.
While congratulating the new appointees, the Chief Minister said that the government is preparing even bigger positions for the people. “Congratulations to you and your family. Nothing is impossible in this world. In the past, the youth had given up hope, but now their hopes have been fulfilled. Our government is preparing even bigger chairs for you,” said the CM.
He further criticized the previous state government for not thinking about the young people of the state and misappropriating tax funds. “The government’s job is to give relaxation to the people and not to harass them. Earlier, the leaders of the government used to live in their palaces, they did not know about the ground reality. The tax money did not reach the government. Instead, it used to go to the previous leaders’ houses,” he added during the speech.
The CM urged the new appointees that unlike previous leaders, they should never take a bribe in their position. “The system was bad for 75 years, but we will fix it slowly even if it takes time to fix it. You people have come from humble backgrounds, so I appeal to you that in your new positions, do not take any bribes from people,” the CM said.
During the speech, he also praised the efforts of the government to provide jobs to the people and save toll tax for the citizens in the state. “Till now we have given 44,973 jobs, we have closed 16 toll plazas, every day 61 lakh toll tax of all Punjabis is being saved. Moreover, all the roads have been repaired and we are giving all the facilities to the public,” the CM said in the speech.
According to the government, a total of 293 appointment letters were made during the ceremony. Out of which 263 of them were under the health department, 9 were under technical education, and the other 21 letters were under the water supply department.
