# Mayawati urges Centre and states to fast-track job recruitment 2026-08-10T23:53:56+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet BSP chief Mayawati on Monday demanded that the Centre and state governments launch time-bound recruitment for vacant government posts and tackle unemployment and inflation. In a post on X, she said that during BSP rule in Uttar Pradesh, around 2.25 lakh new posts were created in the police and Panchayati Raj departments, and a freeze on hiring was lifted, resulting in lakhs of appointments. Mayawati accused state governments, especially Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Punjab, of being "indifferent" to issues like inflation, poverty, paper leaks and corruption. She called for at least one government job per family to benefit SCs, STs and OBCs, and demanded an end to the sale of national assets and corruption-free recruitment. ## Coverage - thefederal.com Tags: BSP, government jobs, Mayawati, paper leaks, unemployment, UP Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/mayawati-urges-centre-and-states-to-fast-track-job-recruitment/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
