Congress Slams Haryana Govt Over Contract Staffing, Calls for Regularization

The Congress party has raised serious concerns over the recruitment practices of the Haryana Kaushal Rozgar Nigam, alleging that the BJP government is undermining reservation provisions intended for Dalits, Backward Classes, and economically weaker sections. According to former Chief Minister Bhupinder Hooda, the current administration is filling even gazetted positions through contract staffing, thus jeopardizing the rights of marginalized groups.

Hooda emphasized that the promotion of the contract system not only compromises job security for employees but also contravenes the spirit of the Constitution, which aims to ensure equal opportunities for all citizens. He called on the government to regularize the staff recruited through the Nigam to uphold justice and equity in employment.

As reported by The Hindu, the Congress party's demands highlight the urgent need for accountability from the Haryana government. Citizens are left wondering: what steps will be taken to protect the rights of those affected by these policies? Who will be held responsible for the erosion of reservation benefits?

The issue raises critical questions about employment equity and the state's commitment to social justice, as more voices join the call for reform in Haryana's hiring practices.
