Mysuru, October 17 (IANS) Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Friday expressed confidence that the India Bloc will win the Bihar state assembly elections.
Speaking to the media at Mysuru airport, he said that people want change and it will happen.
He said that during the padyatra of Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, an unprecedented response was received from the people, which assures the victory of the alliance. He also said that he would take part in the campaign if invited.
Responding to a question on whether Bihar election results will affect Karnataka politics, the CM said the election results of one state do not affect another state.
Asked about the so-called November Revolution, which involved a change of leadership in the state, the CM replied, “What is revolution? Change is not revolution.”
He said that no matter what anyone says about this, the media should ignore such claims.
Commenting on the ban on organizational activities within the school premises, he pointed out that in 2013, when Jagadish Shettar was the Chief Minister, a government order in this regard was issued.
He clarified that this order applies not only to the activities of RSS but to all organizations. He said government schools, playgrounds, public places, parks and government-aided schools come under this order and activities of organizations are prohibited at such places.
Speaking after inaugurating the Youth Prosperity Job Fair organized by the Department of Skill Development, Entrepreneurship and Livelihood in Mysuru, CM Siddaramaiah said, “We are a government that delivers what it promises. Don’t believe the lies of the BJP that the Youth Fund allowance will be stopped if someone takes skill training. The allowance will be stopped for those who have found employment only after securing a job.”
Giving details of the posts filled through the government and the recruitments done through job fairs, he said, “Prime Minister Narendra Modi had promised to create two crore jobs every year, but failed. In these 11 years, 22 crore jobs should have been created. We do not make false promises like his.”
In the last two and a half years, due to the job fairs organized by our government in Bengaluru, 58,892 job aspirants participated and benefited from the opportunities and awareness. Of these, 11,507 candidates have been given appointment letters and 22,819 candidates have been shortlisted, he said.
He informed that 1,20,563 candidates participated in the employment fairs organized in the districts, out of which 24,391 candidates have been given appointment letters and 48,232 candidates have been shortlisted.
“The previous government had completely neglected job aspirants. But in the last two and a half years of our tenure, the government has already filled 28,000 vacancies. Approval has been given for 35,000 more posts,” he said.
He said that the Congress government is working successfully to provide skill training as per the demand of the industry and create employment opportunities.
