Reacting on the same, Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma expressed confidence, and said, “Today, our government has released vacancies for over 10,000 posts in the education department. We will not only deliver but exceed our promise of creating more than 1 lakh government jobs in the most transparent manner in Assam’s history.”
It is worth mentioning that this move follows the BJP’s commitment during the 2021 assembly polls to provide one lakh government jobs annually in Assam, however, the party later clarified that the target was for the entire five-year tenure.
