Bihar polls: Tejashwi Yadav promises one government job for every family

Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav announced on Thursday that if his party wins the Bihar Assembly election, it will provide government jobs to one member of each family within 20 days.

Yadav said that the National Democratic Alliance government had failed to provide jobs and employment for 20 years and that the RJD-led coalition will enact a special employment Act within 20 days of coming to power.

Under the Act, all families in the state will have at least one member with a government job within 20 months, Yadav said.
