Maharashtra Deputy Cܫhief Minister🌞 Devendra Fadnavis on Friday announced scrapping of a government order meant for recruiting staff on a contract basis, and blamed the previous Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government for taking a decision to hire workforce this way.
His announcement comes in the wake of the opposit💦ion parties targeting the Eknath Shinde dispensation over the issue of contractual recruitment. Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) president Sharad Pawar has lashed out at the govern✤ment, claiming that the move will deprive opportunities to people from underprivileged communities.
Addre⛎ssing a press conference, Fadnavis said the first recruitment on a contractual basis was done in 2003 when🌺 the Congress-NCP government was in power.
"We do not want this. They (the MVA government) have committed a sin and we are being blamed for it. I have discussed it with Chief Minister Ekanth Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar. We have decided to scrap the govern♒ment resolution (GR) on contractual hiring," Fadnavis said.
"The decision to hire staff༺ on contract through nine empanelled agencies was taken by the Uddhav Thackeray-led MVA government,𝔍" he said.
