CPIM, DYFI slams state govt for cancellation of Spl Executive posts, calls move anti People

Opposition CPI (M) and its youth front, Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) has strongly condemned the state government’s decision to cancel the recruitment process for 6,361 Special Executive (Group-D) posts under Home department.

After reports of the cancellation of Special Executive posts in the police department by the state government, in which the interview process has already been completed, the Leader of Opposition (LoP) Jitendra Chaudhury claimed that since formation of BJP led government, they have been cheating unemployed and educated youths of the state.

“BJP led government before the election announced hundreds of posts to be filled up through the recruitment process, but after polls, they often cancelled such advertisements and betrayed the youths,” said Chaudhury and added that during the past 8 years, the unemployment ratio of the state reached its peak.

Strongly condemning the cancellation of Special Executive posts, Chaudhury termed it ‘inhuman and betrayal with unemployed youths of the state’.

While, in a press statement issued on Saturday, the DYFI’s state secretary , Nabarun Deb  termed the move as “anti-people” and accused the BJP-led government of pursuing anti-employment policies.

Deb through the press statement on behalf of DYFI and Tribal Youth Federation (TYF) said that  the recruitment process had reached its final stage, and candidates were awaiting appointment. DYFI leader alleged that abruptly cancelling the process has deepened frustration among unemployed youth across the state.

The organization further claimed that since coming to power in 2018, the BJP led government has repeatedly taken decisions that hinder employment opportunities. It alleged that regular recruitment has significantly declined, while temporary and outsourcing-based appointments have increased in various government departments.

DYFI also pointed out that more than 52,000 vacant posts remain unfilled in different sectors, including education and health, creating uncertainty for qualified job seekers. They criticized the government for failing to address the growing unemployment crisis and instead taking steps that worsen the situation.

Highlighting past trends, the statement mentioned that over the last eight years, several recruitment processes initiated by previous governments were either delayed or cancelled, leaving many aspirants in distress. The cancellation of the 6,361 posts of Special Executive has been described as yet another example of such “irregular and unjust” decisions.

The youth organization warned that continued neglect of unemployed youth could lead to widespread discontent. It called upon people from all sections of society to unite against what it described as anti-worker and anti-unemployed policies of the state government.

DYFI also hinted at launching a larger democratic movement in the coming days to protest against the decision and demand immediate steps to ensure fair recruitment and employment opportunities in the state.
