Former chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda expressed concern over rampant unemployment in Haryana, stating that educated youth with degrees are being forced to work as peons, gardeners, and watchmen. He also highlighted the alarming number of qualified individuals applying for low-skilled jobs, such as peon and chowkidar, in various sectors. Hooda criticized the BJP government for failing to address the issue of unemployment and accused them of pushing Haryana's youth towards unemployment, crime, drugs, and menial jobs. The state's high number of qualified individuals applying for temporary jobs reflects the dire state of affairs in terms of employment opportunities.
