"Bring Medal, Get Job": Tejashwi Yadav Declares Bihar's New Sports Policy

Tejashwi Yadav said 81 sportspersons have been chosen for various officer-level posts and they will get their joining letters soon.

Bihar athletes will directly get state government jobs if they win medals, said Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav on Saturday while announcing the new sports policy of his government.

"Jo medal layega woh naukri payega (whoever brings medal will get job)," he declared at a sports event.

"Unemployment is the enemy of the people. Even the educated are not getting jobs. People have degrees, but no jobs. We have brought this policy to promote sports in the state," added Mr Yadav, deputy to Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
