TPYC demands white paper on govt jobs in Tripura over last 7 years during BJP's rule

Agartala: The Tripura Pradesh Youth Congress (TPYC) on Saturday urged CM Manik Saha to publish a white paper detailing govt sector employment during the BJP regime.

At a press conference, TPYC leader Sahajahan Islam claimed the CM has been making contradictory statements about the number of posts filled during the BJP's rule.

"People want to know how many youths have been employed in government departments over the past seven years. On December 18, 2024, Saha said 13,000 posts were filled. On April 28, 2025, he claimed 16,942 jobs were given, and just two days ago, he said 19,262 posts of different categories were filled," Islam added. He added that based on the CM's own statements, around 6,000 jobs have been filled up in the govt sector over the past four to six months. Accusing the state govt of failing to address the issue, Islam said the state with a population of 42 lakh has around 7 lakh unemployed youth. PTI
