PATNA: Leader of the Opposition in Bihar, Tejashwi Yadav, on Thursday launched a sharp attack on the Nitish Kumar government over the delay in the TRE-4 teacher recruitment process, alleging that the prolonged uncertainty has adversely affected the state’s youth.
In a statement, Tejashwi highlighted the achievements of the previous Grand Alliance government, saying that during his 17-month tenure as Deputy Chief Minister, over 2.2 lakh recruitments were made under TRE-1 and TRE-2 in a transparent and time-bound manner within deadlines, and without any incidents of paper leaks.
He also noted that the TRE-3 process had been initiated but was later disrupted after the government changed in January 2024.
Tejashwi Yadav alleged that despite promises made by the current government, the TRE-4 recruitment process has seen no concrete progress. “Nearly a year has passed since the announcement, yet even the vacancies for TRE-4 have not been released, ” he said.
He pointed out that, as per the Bihar Public Service Commission calendar, the examination was originally scheduled for August 2024, but has been repeatedly delayed.
