Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary said 50 lakh government jobs and employment opportunities were promised under Nitish Kumar’s leadership.
Deputy Chief Minister Choudhary countered Tejashwi’s criticism, stating that CM Nitish transformed the “junk Bihar” of the RJD regime into a “prosperous” Bihar and initiated large-scale employment opportunities.
Water Resource Minister Vijay Chaudhary pointed out that teacher recruitment through BPSC was CM Nitish’s vision, dismissing claims of credit by opposition leaders.
This recruitment drive marks a significant step in Bihar’s education reform, ensuring transparency and merit-based selection in the teaching sector.
