Congress leader Pawan Khera has raised doubts over the claim of 25 million (2.5 crore) government jobs in Bihar. He said before talking about such promises, the government should explain how thousands of acres of land were given to Adani for just ₹1. He argued that if public land is being given away cheaply, questions about funds for employment are valid.
In the Bihar Assembly elections, development and job creation are the main issues. RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav promised one government job per family, but Khera questioned how the budget for 2.5 crore jobs would be managed. He accused the BJP of favoring industrialists and transferring land for almost nothing. Khera said industrialists should work, but not at the cost of public property.
He also criticized the BJP for using government schemes for election benefits, saying people now recognize such “election schemes.”
