thebalanced.newsCongress Alleges Haryana Government Favors Outsiders in Recruitment Drives
Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala accused Haryana's BJP government of favoring candidates from outside the state in government recruitments, alleging that 70-80% of officer and teaching posts are filled by non-Haryanvis. Citing the recent Assistant Professors recruitment in Hindi, he noted that 41 of 60 filled posts went to outsiders. The government has not responded to these claims, which highlight concerns over youth employment and recruitment transparency in Haryana.
