Bhubaneswar: Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi Saturday advised youths to focus on their career instead of being influenced by “external forces” that do not want to see India as a strong nation, while asserting that only Prime Minister Narendra Modi can solve their problems.
Addressing a state-level event here marking the 80th Independence Day, the chief minister made five major announcements, including removing the maximum limit of six chances for the state civil service exam. Aspirants can now appear in the exam till they reach the upper age limit.
He also announced compassionate recruitment following the death of government employees, creating three lakh employment opportunities in the next two to three years, which will be extended to 20 lakh in the next five years.
“Some external forces have been trying to mislead the youth of the country because they do not want to see India as a strong nation,” the chief minister said.
He said the “external forces” are well aware that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will not bow down before them and will not compromise on the interests of the country. “Therefore, they are targeting the youth.”
Describing the youth as the main “force” towards fulfilling the goal of building a developed India, Majhi asserted that only PM Modi can solve whatever problems India’s youth have.
“Therefore, you should not be influenced by anyone and focus on your own career; this should be your priority,” he said.
On the occasion, Majhi announced that the students of classes 9 and 10 in state-run schools will be provided free textbooks, as is done for the students up to class 8.
