AGARTALA, Oct 24 (TIWN): Govt Depts left with empty recruitment possibilities and unemployment problem has been on spike in Tripura in last 7 months. Not only the existing recruitments were paused but also fresh recruitments are missing. One of the main reason if Modi Govt led fundless situation in Tripura, which has been worsen in last 7 months highest. The 8 lakhs unemployed youths had played the highest role to unseat 25 years Communist Govt as unemployment rate on that time under Manik Sarkar's Govt went at 11% to 15 %, highest in the country. BJP came in power by promising one 'employment opportunity in each house' which simply meant to the young voters that huge vacancies from all depts and Grpu-A to Group-D will be filled up but after BJP formed a Govt instead of recruitment, it has paused all recruitment as well as cancelled existing recruitment (except Judicial Dept) resulting a massive hike in unemployment rate from 15% (March, 2018) to 40% (September, 2018).

When Tripura’s unemployment tolls reached 39.1% Govt's zero initiative to fill up the vacant posts in Govt Depts are turning the situation worse and at the same time, under the previous Govt various ongoing jobs under Tripura Public Service Commission has been postponed for uncertain period of time. 

BJP Govt yet to move for filling the vacant posts in Govt Dept, whereas before the election BJP propagated that 50,000 vacant posts are there in various State Govt Depts  in Tripura.

Survey says, BJP heavily lost unemployment vote bank base, after it lost Govt employees, pensioners vote banks with its failure to give 7th Pay Commission. 

Unemployment is not only the problem of Tripura, but across the country the same problems are being faced by jobless people under Modi Govt. Being fed up with Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Deb’s bizarre remarks, with his fancy planning for unemployed youths, netizens are throwing sharp reactions against their new Chief Minister.

BJP's intention of "Employment Opportunity" was mocked when Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Deb offered youths to open paan shop or breed cows for livelihood, just like PM Modi's "Pakoda Jobs".

At the same time job cuts from mid-day-meal to JICA project has also increased the unemployment rate in state. There will be no respite from unemployment problem if immediately TPSC doesn't release the paused recruitment and conduct more fresh interviews for the 8 lakhs unemployed youths. 

Till now, no promise of the Vision Document among the 10 major promises could be fulfilled by the BJP Govt after 7 and half months of Govt formation.
