Haryana to reserve 75% private sector jobs for locals, governor approves bill
The Haryana Governor on Tuesday approved a bill that reserves 75 percent of the private jobs for the people of the state.
The Haryana Governor on Tuesday approved a bill that reserves 75 percent of the private jobs for the people of the state. Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala informed that this is the day of great happiness for the youths of Haryana as now they will get 75 percent reservation in private jobs. The bill was passed by the state assembly last year.
Chautala tweeted that the Haryana State Employment of Local Candidates Act, 2020′ has been enacted in the state.
The bill was tabled by Chautala last year that makes it mandatory for the private sector firms to reserve 75 percent of vacancies with salaries upto 50,000 per month for the locals of Haryana. The bill also contains a clause that says if the suitable candidate for the job cannot be found, the companies can invoke the candidate from outside the state and inform the government of such a step. The Haryana government had also said the reservation will be economically, socially and environmentally desirable.
Reservation in the private sector jobs for natives of Haryana was the main election promise of Chautala’s Jannayak Janta Party in 2019. The party had formed a government in the state in alliance with the BJP after winning 10 of the 90 seats.
Meanwhile, the BJP-LJP government in Haryana has been facing immense pressure from the farmers who have been protesting against the Centre’s three newly enacted farm legislations.
Last year, Chautala had said that if he was not able to secure a Minimum Support Price (MSP) for farmers, he would quit politics. Securing MSP is one of the main demands of the protesting farmers.
Amid speculation of rift between BJP and JJP over the farmers’ protest, Chautala had met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah in January. After the meeting, Chautala had said the state government will complete its five-year term.

Mallikarjun Kharge writes to PM Modi seeks time to explain Congress’s Nyay Patra
Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge wrote an open letter to PM Modi and said the Prime Minister is being misinformed by his advisors
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge wrote Prime Minister Narendra Modi a letter on Thursday, requesting an explanation of the ancient party’s Nyay Patra.
In support of the Congress manifesto, Kharge said that the Nyay Patra aims to give justice to marginalised people from all castes and communities, including women, children, farmers, and labourers.
The Congrss president said, PM’s advisors are misrepresenting things to him that aren’t even included in our manifesto. Kharge said, he would be more than happy to meet with him in person to explain thehir Nyay Patra’ so that, as prime minister of the country, he dosen’t make any statements that are false.
It has become his habit to seize on a few words taken out of context, create communal divide, Kharge added.
The Congress leader said that he is neither shocked nor surprised by the language used by the prime minister, in reference to Modi’s recent addresses.
It was expected that the PM and other leaders from his party would start speaking in this manner after he saw the dismal performance of the BJP in the first phase of the elections, he continued.
The impoverished and their rights have been a topic of discussion in Congress (nyay). We know that you and your administration do not care about the underprivileged and destitute, he remarked.
Continuing his attack on the prime minister, Kharge said, PM’s ‘suit-boot ki sarkar’ works for the corporates whose taxes you reduced while the salaried class pays higher taxes. The poor pay GST even on food and salt and the rich corporate claim GST refunds. That is why, when we talk of inequality between the rich and the poor, you are purposely equating it with Hindu and Muslim.
Following the criticisms made by the prime ministers in their recent election speeches, Kharge has responded. Modi has not held back when criticizing the main opposition party at his rallies, accusing them of scheming to redistributing assets and referring to the Congress manifesto as a “imprint of the Muslim League.
