The BJP opposition leaves the Himachal Pradesh Assembly on the issue of unemployment.

On December 22, the opposition BJP stormed out of the Himachal Pradesh Assembly, blaming the administration for not delivering on its pledge to create one lakh jobs.

Leader of the Opposition Jai Ram Thakur insisted on allowing the Rule 67 adjournment petition to address unemployment as soon as the House session started.

According to Thakur, the government has shut down every job opportunity, and young people without jobs are begging for money from door to door.

He added that the governing Congress had failed to deliver on its pledge to create one lakh employment at the first cabinet meeting.

Increasing the ferocity of his criticism of the administration, Thakur stated that in contrast, the Congress had fired 10,000 outsourced workers—including those who had worked during the Covid pandemic—and stopped paying them for eight to nine months. didn't even offer.

The opposition leader also questioned if bringing up the topic in the public interest constituted theater in response to Industries Minister Harsh Vardhan Chauhan's remark that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was engaging in "drama" in the name of unemployment.

The adjournment motion on Saturday, as well as the Rule 130 motion (movement to consider a policy, statement, or any other topic), are ready, according to Speaker Kuldeep Singh Pathania.

Opposition MPs protested to Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu's attempt to address Thakur's concerns, arguing that he should limit his response to the topic at hand.

The Chief Minister was still responding when BJP members began yelling and eventually staged a walkout.

Following the walkout, Sukhu took aim at the BJP, claiming that either the appointments made were pending in court or the documents were leaked when the saffron party was in power.

He said that records from the Subordinate Staff Selection Commission were being sold for thousands of rupees, and the commission had turned into a haven for corruption.

In contrast to the Congress administration, which was hiring 6,500 individuals in the education sector, 974 patwaris, 1400 staff nurses, 1248 constables, 344 drivers, 300 conductors, and 974 van mitras, the Chief Minister said that the BJP government had only employed 20,000 youngsters in five years.

Sukhu said that the BJP was attempting to silence him and claimed that the members' walkout and protest was an expression of their dissatisfaction.

The Industries Minister responded to the commotion by stating that while the Congress administration has begun the process of filling twenty thousand vacancies, the BJP wants to go on with the practice of selling employment.

Chauhan said that the Himachal Pradesh State Selection Commission (HPRCA) took the place of the defunct Himachal Pradesh Staff Selection Commission, which had devolved into a hotbed of corruption.

After the walkout, Thakur spoke with the media and claimed that BJP MLAs Vipin Parmar, Satpal Singh Satti, and Randhir Sharma had given notice to talk about unemployment since the state government had dismissed outsourced workers rather than hired them.

BJP's concern for the young, according to Chauhan, is a play. If raising the voice of the youth within and outside the Assembly is a farce, then his party would keep working to give employment for the youth, he added, describing the youth as worried and frustrated. Our top focus is youth.

He claimed that the Congress administration owed the young people an apology for its broken promises. PTI Core BPL AS
