Our Assessment

Broken on the stated timeline. The promise was to fill approved vacancies in all government departments within one year. In a written reply to the Assembly in December 2025 the Chief Minister stated about 2.84 lakh posts were vacant - up from about 2.76 lakh a year earlier - with the Finance Department permitting only about 24,300 to be filled. Recruitment has faced repeated aspirant protests and delays, and as of early 2026 the government was still pledging to speed up hiring. The one-year target was not met.
