"What employment did they provide in 15 yrs?": LJP leader Raju Tiwari slams Tejashwi Yadav on govt job promise

Patna (Bihar) [India], October 10 (ANI): Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) Bihar President Raju Tiwari slammed the RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav's promise to provide a government job to every household in Bihar on Friday, questioning how many jobs were created during the party's 15 years in power. He further asked the intent behind the promise and accused the RJD leader of exploiting unemployment issues for political gain.
Speaking to ANI, LJP leader Raju Tiwari said, "The greed for power should not be this bad... What employment did they provide in 15 years?... How will they provide employment to every household? What is the standard for that? Will they make a rule? Is no qualification required for that?... This is impossible...The public has rejected them...They will be finished in the 2025 elections..."
Tiwari's remarks come following Tejashwi Yadav's announcement on Thursday that, within 20 days of the formation of the Mahagathbandhan government, it will pass a law ensuring a government job for every household in Bihar.
Earlier in the day, Union Minister Giriraj Singh called the promise a "laughable" poll promise, while asserting that the father of the former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister (RJD supremo Lalu Yadav) was allegedly registering lands in his name in exchange for jobs for candidates.

Giriraj Singh was referring to the Land-for-jobs case in which a court has reserved an order on framing of charges in a case against Lalu Prasad and his family. The CBI has concluded its arguements on framing charges.
"It's laughable, his father was busy registering land in his name for the jobs. Why didn't you do it in 15 years? What is your contribution? You say you gave jobs, where did you give them? What did you do in the department you worked in?" Union Minister Singh said.
Earlier, Bharatiya Janata Party leader Sanjay Mayuk also slammed Yadav, saying that elections cannot be won on false promises.
"Was he asleep? Mother, father, himself, and his sister have all wielded power. Why didn't you remember it then? Now you remember this. When they themselves are unemployed, the people of Bihar have shown them the door from power. His father used to lie, and he is doing it too. Elections can't be won on false promises. The people of Bihar are watching everything. The people of Bihar will give a befitting reply to the lies he constantly tells for power," the BJP leader stated. (ANI)
