Raipur. On the second day of the monsoon session of the Vidhansabha, the matter of unemployment allowance got heated. Dissatisfied with the reply of departmental minister Umesh Patel, BJP members created ruckus. After this he walked out of the house.
The opposition asked that if 22 thousand people were advertised for employment, then how did 33 thousand people get recruited. The departmental minister admitted that 33 thousand people got employment in 22 thousand advertisements. For this arrangements were made in different departments.
Leader of Opposition Narayan Chandel alleged that the rules for giving allowance to the unemployed are being changed everyday. The government is putting up hoardings to provide employment to 10 lakh people, but the information about how many unemployed are registered is not being given. Dissatisfied with the reply of departmental minister Umesh Patel, the opposition stood up and started shouting slogans.
Ajay Chandrakar said that there is no compulsion of age for unemployment registration. This is ridiculous. During the discussion, Minister Umesh Patel taunted that if Ajay Chandrakar goes and registers now, he will also be done, but currently he is an MLA, don’t go now, otherwise the message will not go well.
Minister Umesh Patel said that as of June 20, 2023, 1,72,553 have registered for unemployment allowance. As on June 20, 2023, 1,14,764 are eligible and 33559 are ineligible. Ajay Chandrakar said that without giving jobs to anyone, 33 thousand 659 became ineligible. Shivratan Sharma said that the unemployed of Chhattisgarh are being misled. BJP members were seen dissatisfied with the minister’s reply in this matter.
