Patna,(BiharTimes): Rashtriya Janata Dal president Lalu Prasad said on Wednesday that the Bihar government should immediately make a necessary change in its reservation policy and other related laws to reserve at least 80 per cent seats for locals, irrespective of caste, in all categories of government jobs.

Lalu said he would soon hold a discussion with chief minister  Nitish Kumar on the issue of plight of Bihari students and press for reserving 80 per cent  seats for locals in all vacancies, to be filled
by the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC), Bihar Staff Selection Commission (BSSC) or any other recruiting agency, in Bihar government.

“Hamare bachche naukari ke liye dusre rajyo mein mare-mare phir rahe hai, aur Bihar sarkar ki naukariya dusre log harap rahe hai (Our boys and girls are running from pillars to post for job in other states,whereas people from other states are grabbing jobs in Bihar (government),” Lalu was quoted in the Times of India on Thursday. He claimed a large number of candidates from other states were ‘grabbing’ jobs in Class-2 and Class-3 services of Bihar government in absence of well-defined job policy for the locals.
