Jubilee News Desk

While the ongoing controversy over NDA’s ‘free vaccine doses’ promise is yet to settle down ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav, released the party’s election manifesto.

Tejashwi Yadav, who is the chief ministerial candidate of Mahagathbandhan (grand alliance), on Saturday and said he will not promise one crore jobs.

“I am promising 10 lakh jobs. I could have also promised one crore jobs just for the sake of promise. But I am not doing that because this will become a reality in the first meeting of the Cabinet,” Tejashwi said.

He said this will be the first time in the country that 10 lakh employment opportunities will be created at one go. This figure is what we require in the state’s workforce at present.

“People used to make fun that from where we will generate employments. Now, you must understand there is a difference between earning and employment. Here we are talking about government jobs,” Tejashwi Yadav said. He said there are employment opportunities for teachers, professors, junior engineers, doctors, nurses, lab technicians.
