Haryana has become a ‘haven for outsiders’; dreams of local youth are being crushed: Anurag Dhanda

Chandigarh(The Uttam Hindu): Aam Aadmi Party National Media In-Charge Anurag Dhanda launched a scathing attack on the BJP government in Haryana, alleging that it is playing with the future of the state’s youth. He said in clear terms that the BJP has turned Haryana into a “haven for outsiders,” where local youth are used merely for votes, but are pushed aside when it comes to jobs.

Anurag Dhanda said that boys and girls of Haryana work hard for years, pursue their education, and appear for examinations, but BJP policies render them unemployed and force them to sit at home. He asserted that this is not a mistake but a well-planned conspiracy to deprive Haryanvi youth of their rightful opportunities. He added, the most shocking thing is that Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has maintained complete silence on the issue.

Citing the Haryana Public Service Commission’s Assistant Engineer (AE) Recruitment 2025, Anurag Dhandha said the figures speak for themselves. Out of 153 posts in the General category, 106 were given to outsiders—meaning more than 70 percent of jobs were handed over to non-locals. In the AE Electrical list, only 29 candidates out of 214 in the General category were from Haryana, clearly showing how the BJP government has sidelined Haryanvi youth.

Taking a sharp dig, Anurag Dhanda said the BJP deliberately reduced the domicile requirement from 15 years to just 5 years so that outsiders could easily capture government jobs in Haryana, even in reserved categories. He said the BJP’s slogan of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas rings hollow, as in reality the government stands with outsiders while destroying the future of Haryana’s youth.

He further stated that along with job discrimination, Haryana under BJP rule has become a hub for paper-leak mafias. The future of youth is being sold for ₹3–4 lakh. Arrests made from Sonipat in the CSIR-UGC-NET 2025 paper leak case clearly show that question papers are being sold before examinations, while the government turns a blind eye. The Chief Minister claims no paper leak has occurred, but police action itself exposes the BJP’s lies.

Anurag Dhanda questioned whom Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini is trying to protect. Has the paper-leak mafia received political patronage? While the future of youth is being ruined, the government seems concerned only with saving its chair.

He said the Aam Aadmi Party stands firmly with Haryana’s youth and will not tolerate this injustice at any cost. He demanded an immediate, impartial investigation into the AE recruitment, full priority for Haryanvi youth in government jobs, and a CBI probe into all paper-leak cases with strict punishment for the guilty.

With the warning, Anurag Dhanda said that if the BJP government does not wake up, the Aam Aadmi Party will launch a massive public movement along with Haryana’s youth. This government that snatches away the rights of youth will not last long. Haryana’s youth will no longer remain silent and will surely respond to this injustice.
