Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati on June 14 questioned the announcement by the Centre to recruit 10 lakh people in the next one-and-half years and asked whether it is not an "election mirage".
The former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister claimed that far more posts reserved for the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Classes are lying vacant for years. "Due to wrong policies and working style of the Centre, poverty, inflation, unemployment and devaluation of the Rupee are at an all-time high. Because of this all [people] are feeling worried and restless. Now, the Centre in the next one-and-half years, before the Lok Sabha election, has announced 10 lakh recruitments. Is it not an election mirage ( chhalavaa)?" Mayawati said in a series of tweets in Hindi.
