AGARTALA / NEW DELHI, June 18 (TIWN): Tripura’s massive unemployment problem spiking every month as BJP State Govt remained rudderless on unemployment problem. Crisis in State Govt job distribution is imminent last one year as Tripura never developed not only industrialization but IT and software companies in the state. As a result, a huge numbers of engineers left jobless in Tripura, however the crisis is less felt among Doctors. Chief Minister Biplab Deb who has recently demanded various fund allocations in different sectors at Delhi could not place the deserved demand before centre where the Central-BJP Govt assured to give 50000 Govt jobs to unemployed youths within around a year. This job distribution could be treated as an immediate relief from the massive unemployment and stabling the economy.

It can be noted here that recruitment corruption in Govt Depts and cases against the previous Communist govt frustrated the youths back in 2017-18 led them to vote for the BJP out of anti-incumbency but it will be tough for the present Govt to negotiate Govt job opportunities in replace of job-creators.

Also it has hit 2 financial years when the Govt depts are not appointing new employees at a large scale and TPSC website left dry without fresh advertisement.

Job creator campaigning is going on led by the Biplab Deb himself but survey reported, the 7 lakhs youths who benefited BJP in Assembly Election 2018 can be crucial to the BJP in next polls if not provided with ‘immediate relief’ of recruitments in Govt departments.

Tripura has no industrialization and the job creator is a tough matter when Tripura’s living cost is too much high in compare to other states like West Bengal. Also private companies pay very minimum wage to the employees due to available unemployed youths. It includes privates schools also. In many schools authorities are appointing teachers at very cheap price Rs. 2000.

Business of hotels and others infrastructure do not profit businessmen at the initial stage due to poverty of the state and slow economy.

Tripura till day was not ready for corporate theories and also job-creations are new to them, specially those who were preparing for TPSC exams for years. Tripura tops in unemployment rate. 

It can not be forgotten that before election BJP not only promised 50000 govt jobs in first one year but said, doubling of salaries by 7th Pay Commission will generate huge profit in the markets. So this theory of markets-profit via Govt jobs is not unknown to the BJP Govt, however, how far Biplab Deb could appeal the serious economic condition of the state to the centre it is unknown. Also how far the resentment of the youths due to failed promise of 50000 govt jobs in 1-years could be brought in Centre’s notice, it’s under doubt.
