"If our government comes, we will make a timetable for every job-related exam to ensure that these are conducted and results are declared on a defined date. The recruitment process will be done within a six-month period. If it is not done, action will be taken against concerned officials," she said.

She alleged that opposition parties were practising casteist politics in the state. She also alleged that they make promises but do not fulfil them.

"The promise which we have made of 20 lakh jobs, we have mentioned in detail how we are going to execute this. During elections, opposition parties divert people from the main issues. Why BJP doesn't speak about employment and other real issues? The government doesn't want you to be Atmanirbhar, they don't think that it's their responsibility to make you Atmanirbhar," she added.

The assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh will be conducted in seven phases starting on February 10. (ANI)
