The Bihar caste survey and employment generation are emerging as the ruling Rashtriya Janata Dal and Janata Dal (United)-led Mahagathbandhan alliance’s principal poll pitches as the countdown to this year’s general election begins. With the INDIA bloc also taking cue and pitching for a nationwide caste survey on the lines of the exercise in Bihar, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his deputy Tejashwi Yadav are now putting focus on creating jobs in every department.
A few months ago, 70,000 recruitments were made by Bihar Police. The State government has already announced that it would recruit about 1,40,000 people in the Health department in the days to come. In between, the focus has been on the Education department with two events in quick succession where job letters were distributed to over two lakh newly recruited teachers.
