Chandigarh, Nov. 3 -- Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Tuesday handed over appointment letters to 801 newly recruited youth in Mohali, giving them a Diwali gift of government jobs and taking the total number of recruitments under his government to 71,777.
Asserting that every appointment had been made entirely free of cost and strictly on merit, without 'Cash' or 'farmaish' (recommendation), he said that unlike previous governments, where government jobs were sold for lakhs of rupees through money, recommendations and 'Vaddhi' (bribe), his government had ensured transparent recruitment without a single rupee of bribe.
Challenging the Opposition to point out even one instance of corruption in recruitment, CM Mann announced that another 600 youth would receive government jobs next week, reaffirming his government's
commitment to employment, merit and building a 'Rangla Punjab'.
Addressing a gathering after handing over appointment letters to 801 newly recruited youth, Mann said, "The Opposition is indulging in a malicious campaign against me in the absence of any substantive issue. I challenge these leaders to prove even a single allegation of corruption against me or quit politics."
