AGARTALA, Nov 9 (TIWN): BJP Govt yet to move for filling the vacant posts in Govt Dept, whereas before the election BJP propagated that 50,000 vacant posts are there in various State Govt Depts in Tripura. The 7 lakhs unemployed youths had played the highest role to unseat 25 years Communist Govt as unemployment rate on that time under Manik Sarkar's Govt went at 11% to 15 %, highest in the country. BJP came in power by promising one 'employment opportunity in each house' which simply meant to the young voters that huge vacancies from all depts and Group-A to Group-D will be filled up but after BJP formed a Govt instead of recruitment, it has paused all recruitment as well as cancelled existing recruitment (except Judicial Dept) resulting a massive hike in unemployment rate from 15% (March, 2018) to 32.2% (October, 2018).

Tripura in October 2018 topped in unemployment rate among 29 states with 32.2% unemployment rate. According to Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy's (CMIE) monthly data, in October 2018 the unemployment problem is still tensed for Tripura as state continues to remain in top position with 32.2%.  However, it's a light decrease than last month's 39.1%.

CM on yesterday in a Govt programme said, "How far Govt jobs can be given ? 7 lakhs unemployed youths are in Tripura. Moreover, being an entrepreneur is a great feeling as your are also appointing others in your business and  generating employment".
