The Story in Brief
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.
The Indian Opinion
Mayawati’s charge that governments are indifferent to unemployment and inflation is convenient politics. But she glosses over her own record: the 2.25 lakh posts she cites were created in just two departments during a decade of BSP rule. Joblessness is real, but the answer is not one government job per family, that budget would break any state. The real test is whether Parliament can pass the pending anti-paper-leak law this session.
