Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday claimed that the BJP government in the state has put an end to a massive corruption network related to recruitment in government jobs.
Taking to social media post on X, the Chief Minister wrote, "Rs 15,000 crore brokerage shop closed. Yes, by bringing transparency to 1.5 lakh government jobs, the money that used to go into the pockets of bribe-takers and corrupt politicians was stopped." Claiming that people can 'pay' Rs 1 lakh for a government job, but his government in Assam works for the welfare of the people. The Chief Minister further emphasised the state government's commitment to good governance, stating that 1.5 lakh youths have got government jobs, without any bribes. In an accompanying video, CM Sarma addressed the issue, stating, "If I had taken Rs 1 lakh from each candidate, I could have earned Rs 15000 crores. Just imagine, will anyone not pay Rs 1 lakh to get a government job? Will people give Rs 1 lakh if I say I will give government jobs? They would have given it to me, but we work for the poor people of Assam. We don't need any money, and we will punish those who take money. Our youth should get a job without any bribes. 1.5 lakh youths have got government jobs in the last 4 years at absolutely zero cost." Earlier on April 18, Assam Chief Minister Sarma dedicated development projects worth more than Rs 100 crore at a function held near Rengbonghom H S School in Diphu in Karbi Anglong district. The development works, which encompass laying, widening, improving, and upgrading roads, bridges, and other projects, are expected to revolutionise connectivity in Karbi Anglong. Speaking at a programme organised to provide pre-school kits among the Anganwadi Centres at Diphu, Chief Minister Sarma said, "Today is an important day for Karbi Anglong. Along with other important projects, connectivity projects worth over Rs 100 crore have been dedicated to the people. All these projects will bring about unprecedented development in Karbi Anglong."
