He said it was clear among the teachers that the BJP was the party that fought against 317 GO during the transfer of the teachers. He criticized the ruling Congress party for being the only party that is causing misery to the teachers after coming to power. He said his party would fully support the teachers if they vote for their party candidate.

Stating that even graduates are suffering due to lack of jobs, he said there was a need to provide employment opportunities to them. Rajender said to give the necessary skill training Rs4 lakh crore had been earmarked to build quality youth power in the Union Budget 2024-25.

He called upon all the party leaders to work till the 27th of this month to ensure the victory of the party candidates.
