*Assembly Election 2024:*
As the 2024 Haryana Assembly elections draw near, the state’s political atmosphere is heating up. Adding to the tensions is the Election Commission’s recent move to pause ongoing government recruitment following the election announcement. Reportedly, as per various media sources, this action is largely seen as a result of the Congress party’s ‘Bharti Roko Gang’ (Stop Recruitment Gang), which has been questioning the existing recruitment practices.
*Government Jobs Over the Last Decade: 2024 Assembly Election*
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), in power in Haryana for the past decade, is now aiming for a third consecutive term. Since 2014, the BJP has facilitated government jobs for around 150,000 unemployed individuals, positioning itself as a leader in creating employment opportunities.
*Focus on Transparent Recruitment: 2024 Assembly Election*
A key feature of BJP’s administration has been its emphasis on transparent hiring processes. The slogan ‘no slips, no bribery’ represents the government’s shift to merit-based recruitment, removing the need for recommendations or bribes to secure jobs. This approach has been positively received by many job seekers in Haryana.
*Congress’s Role in Halting Recruitment: 2024 Assembly Election*
Despite the BJP’s progress and efforts, the Congress party has apparently hindered (as stated in media reports) some recruitment processes, impacting various sectors. Media channels have reported some as below:
* 5,600 Haryana Police posts
* Teaching and physical education roles under the Haryana Staff Selection Commission
* Several positions within the Haryana Public Service Commission
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh raised concerns about potential violations of the electoral code, prompting an Election Commission investigation. The Commission determined that these recruitments began prior to the election announcement and followed the required guidelines, advising that results should only be declared post-election.
*Recruitment Delays and Youth Protests: 2024 Assembly Election*
Due to the actions of the ‘Bharti Roko Gang’ supposedly, approximately 24,000 government job results are still pending in Haryana. The Haryana Staff Selection Commission confirmed that results for around 1,500 first and second-category posts, 16,500 group 56 and 57 posts, and 6,000 police recruitments are ready, awaiting clearance for announcement.
The Commission chairman revealed that up to 7,000 results could be finalized by the election date, including 6,000 constable recruitment results. The youth of Haryana, frustrated by these delays, have protested Congress’s interference in the recruitment processes. Demonstrations took place at the residence of former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, resulting in clashes with the police, underscoring the unrest among unemployed young people.
*Conclusion*
As the 2024 election date approaches, the political environment in Haryana grows more intense. The BJP is determined to retain power, while certain media sees it as Congress party seeking to leverage anti-incumbency sentiment. These elections are shaping up to be a decisive moment in the state’s political future.
