Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav has made a strong statement on youth unemployment and education issues through a post on the social media platform X. Writing from his official handle, he said that cases filed against people who raised their voice on paper leaks, the problems faced by teachers and learners, and other related issues should be withdrawn immediately.
Demand to withdraw cases linked to paper leaks and education issues
According to Akhilesh Yadav, people who spoke up about the paper leak problem, the difficulties faced by teachers and students, and other connected issues are facing legal cases that should now be dropped. He argued that those who came forward to expose flaws in the system should not have to face legal action for doing so. Through this demand, he has drawn attention to the youth and teachers who have repeatedly taken to the streets over irregularities in recruitment exams and problems within the education system.
A job calendar promised if voted back to power in 2027
In the post, Akhilesh Yadav further wrote that his party will come to power in 2027, and at that time a job calendar will be created. According to him, this calendar will provide a time-bound and definite solution to the unemployment problem. In effect, a fixed schedule of recruitments would be made public, so that young people preparing for competitive exams know in advance which department will announce vacancies and when, instead of being left waiting in uncertainty.
Reference to contract hiring and PDA
In the same post, he also raised the issue of commission-taking in contract based, or sanvida, recruitments. He also referred to a matter connected to PDA, but because a link was attached right after this part of the post, the rest of the sentence and its full detail were not visible.
Public reaction
The post drew a mixed response on social media. Some users voiced support, saying unemployed youth are now pinning their hopes on Akhilesh Yadav, while others questioned why recruitments and jobs remained stalled during the period when the Samajwadi Party was in government. Several users also shared their views on reservation, transparency in the recruitment process and the state of education, while some linked the post to the upcoming elections, turning it into a talking point online.
