Ahead of Bihar Assembly elections, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Thursday promised that if the INDIA bloc came to power in Bihar, it would bring an Act to ensure that every family in the state had a member with a government job.
The opposition leader added that the proposed Act will be brought "within 20 days of formation of the new government".
"The NDA could not provide jobs to the youth in 20 years. We will bring the Act within 20 days of coming to power, and implementation will be ensured in 20 months", said the former deputy chief minister at a press conference in Patna.
"I had promised government jobs in the last assembly polls as well. During the brief period I was in power, five lakh jobs were provided. You can imagine what could be possible had I got a five-year term", said the 35-year-old political leader.
"This time, the people of Bihar want change and want that unemployment be uprooted. Besides social justice, we want to do economic justice too for the people of Bihar. Tejashwi ne jo kaha hai wo kiya hai, aur jo keh raha hai wo karega. It can be done, all you need is willpower," he said.
