With an eye on young voters for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, the BJP government in Gujarat on Monday announced to hold 23 placement camps for over 60,000 students studying in the final-year of various graduate, post-graduate and professional courses at government and grant-in-aid colleges and universities across the state.
According to officials, the state government has lined up about 70,000 jobs in the private sector for the students. The first of these placement camps is being held at the Gujarat University in Ahmedabad where more than 8,000 students have registered.
Handing over the letters of intent to some of the students who were interviewed by private firms and offered jobs, Chief Minister Vijay Rupani said, “The slogan of BJP is Ayodhya mein Ram, Yuvano ko kaam, Mehngayi pe lagaam, Kisaano ko sahi dam aur hata do brashtachari badnam (Ram in Ayodhya, jobs for youths, controlling inflation, right price for farmers and removal of corruption).”
