CHANDIGARH: Amidst raging influence of Aam Aadmi Party's style of politics in Haryana, an organization - Yuva Bolega - that had been demanding transparency in selection process for government jobs, on Friday claimed of gathering a support of 7,000 youths through different platforms, including social media, from the state in the past few days.
The organization had been demanding elimination of interviews, terming it as the main tool for showing favouritism in recruitment to government positions in Haryana. The organization wants the selection to be made on the basis of written tests along with weightage to academic records of candidates - similar to the pattern in Rajasthan. "Rajasthan has already abolished interviews for class II and III posts. Haryana should also follow the suit," said Nitin Narang, an activist of Yuva Bolega.
Narang further informed that five activists, including Anirudh Chautala, who were arrested in Bhupinder Singh Hooda's hometown Rohtak while protesting two days back, have refused to apply for bail demanding that the case lodged against them be cancelled. He added that the detained members were on hunger strike in the jail against the "interview raj".
The organization has planned to submit memorandums with the deputy commissioners at all district headquarters in the next few days. With regards to this campaign, a demonstration would also be held at Sonipat on Saturday.
"The state government has advertised 6,204 jobs in various categories in its departments and boards recently. But the criteria for selection to those have not yet been advertised. It gives way to an apprehension among the youths that the high and mighty in the government would try and accommodate their favourites to these posts with an eye on the approaching Lok Sabha and state assembly elections," said Narang.
"Successive governments in Haryana have a track record of using interviews as a tool to push their agenda of favouritism and nepotism in recruitment to government jobs. It seems that the forthcoming recruitments are not going to be any different," he maintained.
