'Grateful': BJP's Varun Gandhi tells AIMIM's Asaduddin Owaisi for sharing jobs data

| @indiablooms | Jun 14, 2022, at 01:33 am

New Delhi/IBNS: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP from Uttar Pradesh's Pilibhit Varun Gandhi on Monday thanked AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Twitter for mentioning employment data revealing that over 60 lakh sanctioned central and state government posts lie vacant even as the unemployment is high in India.

In a video shared by Gandhi on Twitter, Owaisi can be seen reading out the number of vacant posts department-wise, pointing out that it's not his data but provided by the BJP MP himself.


"Unemployment is the most burning issue of the country today and the leaders of the whole country should draw the attention of the government to this issue. Unemployed youth should get justice, only then the country will become powerful," Varun Gandhi tweeted in Hindi along with a video clip of Owaisi's speech.

"I am grateful that my questions raised on employment were mentioned by @asadowaisi ji in his speech," he added.

Gandhi had earlier tweeted a graphic with details of the number of vacant posts in ministries and departments.

"These statistics are startling when unemployment is at its highest level in 3 decades.

While crores of youth are frustrated and disappointed due to the non-availability of jobs, there are 60 lakh 'sanctioned posts' vacant in the country if 'government figures' are to be believed.

Where did the budget that was allocated for these posts go?

Every youth has the right to know this!" he had said.

Varun Gandhi has been recently raising the issue of vacancy in government posts while noting that job aspirants have been desperate and paying the price for administrative incompetence.

He has also been publicly embarrassing the BJP by often going against the party line and questioning the Centre.
