AGARTALA, Jan 2 (TIWN): Chief Minister Biplab Deb has continued to insult unemployed youths and signaling that no more Govt job is possible under this Govt. Addressing in Science Fair programme in Agartala, the Chief Minister has called for entrepreneurship development which will not only employee ownself but also open opportunity to give jobs to others. “It has been experienced in Tripura that for years after years unemployed engineers are looking to enter Govt jobs like Civil Engineering, whereas if they could focus on themselves and had developed entrepreneurship then already he would have 10 crores”, the Chief Minister said. Earlier, Biplab Deb said, if unemployed youths had opened paan-shops or rearing cows, then in 10 years they could have 10 lakhs instead of running of Govt jobs. Chief Minister that suggestion also triggered nationwide criticism and in Tripura BJP before coming in power promised to recruit 50,000 unemployed youths in various existing vacant posts under Govt Depts within 1 year, whereas now the Govt has slashed all the vacant posts saying, Tripura has enough numbers of Govt employees and thus no more is needed. The Govt also cancelled all ongoing recruitments affecting over 8000 people here.

Finance Dept in notification No.F 9 (2) FIN (G)/ 2017/ 711 dated December 17, 2018 said that Tripura having the “highest numbers of Govt employees” and there is no need of any more Govt employee unless the posts are vacated by surrender or retirement. The order said, “Tripura has the highest level of Govt employment in the country. The level of employment is double in Tripura in compare to the states like Meghalaya. Needless to say, there is need to be extremely prudent in the matter of further recruitments”. 

The notification further says, “Creation of posts will be strictly depend of availability with budgetary resources with Department concerned. Each dept has a number of posts created in the past, which are vacant and no longer required. Hence whenever a department submits a proposal of post creation it should be accompanied with surrender/ abolition of posts with equivalent financial  implications”. In the order it was also mentioned if rules are not followed, then dire consequences will be seen and already Education Dept was issued with a fresh notice for show-cause.

BJP’s pre-poll promises turned JUMLA, now under media rage and social media rage.Sunil Deodhar before the election gave 8882271955 number to unemployed youths saying, it will give them job once they give one missed-call in it, but after 10 months of passage this 8882271955 number is saying switched off in Marathi language. But now the whole promise is proving as JUMLA and netizens have called him as “Missed Call Baba”.

Under 9 months of BJP Govt in Tripura, state’s unemployment rate went at 28%, highest in country’s history for a state, whereas BJP Govt now has put a fullstop in Govt jobs with an order of “no more Govt Jobs” as Tripura has enough numbers of Govt employees under the previous Govt.

Recently, CM was addressing in RK Nagar, near Agartala in a training centre inauguration programme and said, no more anybody comes to him to seek jobs.

Noteworthy, earlier around thousands of job aspirants in police dept met Tripura CM in Janata Durbar who were already served with offer letters under the previous Govt but didn’t get joining letters. CM told them, their jobs will be secured, but later no development came and those youths yet left unemployed.
