32,000 public sector jobs remain unfilled, applicants do not want to vote

Affected candidates said The Quintet that they had met with Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini and Congress MP Deepender Singh Hooda.

“Saini told us that the EC's decision was taken after Ramesh's letter and he asked us to request the Congress to withdraw it. When we met Hooda in Delhi, he assured us that they would take care of it after the nominations were filed,” Amar said.

Rakesh claimed that there was “no connection” between the announcement of the results of the 2022-23 recruitment exams and Ramesh’s letter pointing out new vacancies, and stated: “I am so happy.”

Meanwhile, Amar claimed that CET was held only once in November 2022, although the government policy clearly states that it should be held once a year. He recalled that the Punjab and Haryana High Court had on July 9 directed the Haryana government to conduct CET-2023 within the next eight weeks.

“Now they are blaming MCC, but the truth is that this government has never shown any intention to create jobs or fill vacancies,” Amar alleged. He added that by intensifying the process, the government has trapped candidates in a “never-ending loop” of having to prepare for and take the exam again and again. “We cannot even look for another job,” he lamented.

Rakesh added that candidates would boycott the election if their results were not announced and the seats were not filled promptly.
