Uttar Pradesh Government Under Fire for Employment Promises Ahead of 2027 Assembly Elections

The issue of employment and youth has once again heated up ahead of the 2027 assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh. Congress MP Tanuj Punia has cornered the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government over Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's promise of distributing tablets to 50,000 students and giving jobs to the youth. During a media interaction in Barabanki, Tanuj Punia said that the BJP government did not give employment to the youth for ten years and now as the elections are approaching, attempts are being made to mislead them by distributing tablets and appointment letters. He alleged that big events are being held in the name of distribution of appointment letters and crores of rupees are being spent on advertisements while the youth want employment. On the question of Congress'demand for 181 seats in the 2027 assembly elections, Tanuj Punia said that the workers of every political party put their demand before their organization and leadership. It is their duty to stand by their workers. The senior leaders of the alliance will form the final decision regarding the seats. He said that Rahul Gandhi is playing an important role in the upcoming elections.
