Prime Minister Narendra Modi has commended the Haryana Government's groundbreaking approach to job recruitment, praising Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini's administration for its commitment to merit-based hiring. The endorsement came during the inauguration of healthcare projects worth Rs 12,850 crore in New Delhi, reports The Haryana Story.
The innovative "no parchi, no kharchi" (no recommendation slip, no bribe) policy has emerged as a cornerstone of BJP's governance in Haryana. According to official figures, approximately 26,000 young people have secured government positions purely on merit under this transparent system.
"The Saini Government has brought genuine smiles to thousands of young faces by ensuring fair job opportunities," Modi stated during the event. This recruitment model, initially introduced by former Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar in 2014, has become more than just a policy – it's now a powerful symbol of good governance.
The success of this initiative played a crucial role in BJP's recent victory in the October 5 Assembly polls, marking their third consecutive win in Haryana. State BJP Chief Mohan Lal Badoli expressed confidence that this model would influence upcoming elections in other states. "The Haryana victory, primarily attributed to 'no parchi, no kharchi', will set the tone for BJP's success in Maharashtra and Jharkhand," Badoli stated.
During the election campaign, prominent BJP leaders, including Home Minister Amit Shah and Chief Minister Saini, consistently highlighted this achievement. Party officials acknowledge that the merit-based recruitment system significantly contributed to their electoral success, demonstrating the public's support for transparent governance.
The policy's impact extends beyond immediate job creation, representing a fundamental shift in public service recruitment. It has effectively challenged the traditional systems of patronage and corruption that often plagued government hiring processes in the past.
This initiative's success in Haryana could serve as a blueprint for other states seeking to implement transparent recruitment processes, potentially transforming public sector hiring practices across India.
