Bihar government cancels legislative assembly recruitment vacancies in state

Patna (Bihar) [India], March 5 (ANI): Nitish Kumar-led Bihar government on Thursday ordered to cancel legislative assembly recruitment vacancies in the state.

Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sinha thanked Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and assembly speakers. This is the first order of the NDA govt to cancel Grand Alliance’s earlier decision.

Vijay Sinha referred to the previous government’s decision and said, “We questioned the Bihar government over legislative assembly recruitment vacancy many times and wrote a letter to the Chief Minister and the Governor. We also made it public in front of the media. But no action was taken earlier.”

Appreciating the Chief Minister, he said, “Today I thank the CM of Bihar and the new speaker of the assembly for taking cognisance of any activity and people who are involved in giving money in exchange for jobs.”

Requesting further probe, he said, “I wish that the government orders some sort of investigation so that there is further clarity about such people. It will become clear how these people used to escort money, and how outsourcing is played with.”
