Congress Initiates “Palayan Roko, Naukri Do” March in Bihar
NEW DELHI: The Congress party in Bihar has launched a significant statewide pada-yatra titled “Palayan Roko, Naukri Do” (Stop Migration, Give Jobs) to address the alarming unemployment crisis that is driving countless youths to leave the state.
Leadership and Objectives
The march, led by prominent figures such as AICC Bihar in-charge Krishna Allavaru, state Congress chief Akhilesh Prasad Singh, and Kanhaiya Kumar, commenced in West Champaran’s Bhitiharwa, a site of historical significance associated with Mahatma Gandhi. The initiative aims to traverse multiple districts, ultimately culminating in Patna.
Highlighting Employment Issues
During the launch, Kanhaiya Kumar criticized the ruling NDA government in Bihar for its ineffective employment policies. He remarked, “Every exam gets leaked or stuck in court battles. Even those who manage to secure jobs, like government teachers, are denied pension benefits their predecessors enjoyed.” He emphasized that the lack of jobs in Bihar has resulted in a broader societal division.
Addressing Youth Concerns
Kumar passionately articulated the reasons behind the mass exodus of Biharis, stating, “People leave Bihar not just for jobs, but for everything – education, healthcare, even honeymoons. No one comes here seeking a livelihood.”
Strategic Focus Ahead of Elections
As Congress prepares for the upcoming assembly elections, this pada-yatra aims to establish a distinct identity within the state’s political framework. The party is counting on the growing frustration over joblessness to energize its campaign efforts.
