"No Sifarish (Recommendations)": Bhagwant Mann on 25,000 Jobs In Punjab

Mr Mann asked his party MLAs to not come with any "sifarish" (recommendations) for the vacant positions.

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Sunday asked the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs to work with honesty for the welfare of people.

Mr Mann, who threw open 25,000 jobs in various state government departments on Saturday in his first Cabinet meeting, asked his party MLAs to not come with any "sifarish" (recommendations) for the vacant positions.

"Many will approach you for these jobs, but refrain from making any recommendations. There is no place for corruption in Aam Aadmi Party," Mr Mann said.

Unemployment has been one of the major issues that the Aam Aadmi Party had raised during the just-concluded state assembly polls.
