New Delhi: AICC general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Monday accused the BJP government of turning the job recruitment examinations into a source of earning income by “levying GST on examination papers”.
Sharing a job recruitment examination application form of the ‘Kalyan Singh Super Speciality Cancer Institute, Sultanpur Road, Lucknow’ that showed 18% GST was being charged, Priyanka alleged on X, “The BJP cannot provide jobs to youngsters but it is definitely rubbing salt on the wounds by charging 18 per cent GST on examination forms. GST is being charged on every government job form, including Agniveer.”
Lamenting the plight of job seekers and their parents, she further said: “Parents sacrifice their lives and save every penny to educate their children and prepare them for the exams but the BJP government has turned their dreams into a source of income.”
The Congress leader said the money spent by the youth on GST to buy examination papers would be wasted if the papers are leaked. “After filling the form, if the paper is leaked due to the failure of the government or if there is corruption, then this money of the youngsters is wasted.”
