That will take the total number of recruitments to well above the 1-lakh promised earlier," he said on Sunday.

During the 2021 assembly election campaign in Assam, the BJP made a commitment to create 100,000 government job opportunities. Sarma explained that the state cabinet had formally approved the plan to offer these 100,000 jobs to unemployed youths in Assam during its initial meeting in 2021.

However, due to the disruptions caused by the second and third waves of the COVID-19 pandemic, the entire process was delayed.
