50,000 jobs to be created post Lok Sabha elections, says Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma

Stating that the government has achieved the target of providing one lakh jobs, Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said that post Lok Sabha election another 50,000 jobs will be added.

Speaking at public rallies before the filing of nominations by BJP candidates for Nagaon and Darrang-Udalguri constituencies the chief minister said that the state will shoulder the responsibility of educating girl students up to the postgraduate level.

He added that after the girls pass class 12, they will be given Rs 12,500 for taking admission in college, while those going for postgraduate studies will be given Rs 25,000, he added.


'Betak ma baap porhabo, betik Mama porhabo (Parents will educate their sons but Mama, as he is called by youngsters in the state, will educate the girls)', Sarma said.

“In Assam, it will be Modi's guarantee along with 'Mama's' warranty that will take the state towards development. If Modi is there as Prime Minister, Assam will definitely march ahead towards peace and development to become a leading state of the country and for this the people must ensure the win of the BJP candidates', he said.

He said that the Congress party is like demonetised currency. He said, "There is no point voting for the Congress party as it cannot do anything for the people", he added.
