This time the fraud is on those students who come from ordinary families and work hard for 18-18 hours, who live in small rented rooms and dream big. Where lakhs of posts are vacant in Railways, recruitment of only 5696 posts after waiting for 5 years is injustice to the competitive students."
The Congress MP sought explanation from the Centre as to benefit whom that the policy of reducing recruitment in Railways being pursued. Where is the promise of 2 crore jobs every year? he asked. "Where is the assurance of not privatizing the railways? One thing is very clear – Modi's guarantee is an alarm bell for the youth.
