Congress MLA Shakeel Ahmad on Thursday supported Bihar Leader of the Oppositon Tejashwi Yadav's announcement to pass a law ensuring government jobs for Bihar households if his grand alliance emerges victorious in the state assembly polls.
He stated that this was the collective decision of Mahagathbandhan and "we will do it together". Congress MLA Shakeel Ahmad, while talking to ANI, said, "He is the Leader of the Opposition and the leader of Mahagathbandhan, and this is a collective decision and will do it together..." This statement from MLA Shakeel Ahmad came following Tejashwi Yadav's announcement of making a law ensuring government jobs for every household in Bihar, and stated that he doesn't need to provide any proof to implement his announcement. "We have made a historic announcement today. We want to do economic justice, besides social justice, for the people. Today, we have announced that whichever family in Bihar does not have a government job will be given a government job within 20 days of the formation of our government. In 20 months, there will be no family that will not have a govt job...When every family in Bihar has a govt job, everyone will run the Bihar Govt besides Tejashwi...Tejashwi ki umr kacchi hai, par zubaan pakki hai. So, we do not need to give proof. People of Bihar know that Tejashwi will do what he says," Yadav told ANI. Tejashwi Yadav's announcement follows his statement that within 20 days of the formation of the Mahagathbandhan government, it will enact a law ensuring a government job for every household in Bihar. The Leader of Opposition in the Bihar Assembly announced that within 20 months, no family in Bihar will be left without a government job. The RJD leader said that he has the vision and willpower to implement the announcement. He highlighted that his party has done extensive research and survey to implement the plan. "Had this not been possible, Tejashwi would not have said it. All that is needed is willpower; we have that. We have vision...I think we don't need to give proof. We have made it clear that Tejashwi makes no announcement without studying it, without scientific research," he said. The RJD also slammed the current Bihar regime, calling it a "copycat government". "This is a copycat government (NDA Govt in Bihar) and copies us. We had announced Mai Bahin Maan Yojana earlier; they copied it. They are attempting to buy votes," he said. (ANI)
