Congress Rajya Sabha member and party national general secretary Randeep Singh Surjewala on Tuesday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in Haryana of “brazen daylight robbery” of jobs meant for the State’s youth, alleging that posts of Class 1 to 3 officers and teachers were being filled with “outsiders” as part of a “calculated strategy”.

“‘The peons are ours, but the officers come from outside Haryana’ – this formula of the Nayab Singh Saini government is now on the lips of every young person,” Mr. Surjewala said while addressing a press conference in Delhi.
