Rahul's 2.5 lakh jobs promise still unmet: Vijayendra

Bengaluru, Dec 1 (UNI) Karnataka BJP President Vijayendra Yediyurappa on Monday criticised the Congress government in Karnataka for failing to fulfil the employment promises made by Rahul Gandhi in 2023, leaving thousands of young aspirants frustrated.
Vijayendra said, "Rahul Gandhi stood in Belagavi in 2023 and promised that all 2.5 lakh government vacancies would be filled. The Congress party even included this commitment in its manifesto, assuring that vacancies in all departments would be addressed within a year. Lakhs of young people trusted them and believed their word."
He added, "It has now been two and a half years. Vacancies have crossed 2.8 lakh. There is still no recruitment calendar, no exam notifications, and no movement anywhere. The government has not taken even the first basic step to fill the jobs it promised on stage and in writing."
