Government recruitment promises questioned by MP amid Ayodhya tragedy

In the wake of the deadly bombing that killed Ram Lagan Maurya and his mother, MP Chandrashekhar Azad confronted the Uttar Pradesh government over its long‑standing recruitment gaps. Azad highlighted that despite the announcement of new vacancies for teachers, Anganwadi workers, and police personnel, the state has failed to fill a substantial portion of these posts over the last nine and a half years.

Citing official figures, the MP noted that between 68,500 and 69,000 teaching positions remain vacant, and similar shortages exist for B.Ed and B.T.C aspirants. He demanded transparency on why these roles are still empty and called for immediate action to prevent further disenfranchisement of qualified candidates.

Azad warned that the timing of new appointment letters ahead of the 2027 elections appears to be a calculated attempt to win votes rather than address systemic employment issues. He appealed to the administration to prioritize genuine job creation, improve flood‑relief measures, and resolve the grievances surrounding the ethanol plant that is affecting local communities.
