Mumbai: Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi on Monday promised one lakh government jobs to the youth if Congress comes to power in the state assembly elections to be held on February 20.

“On being voted to power, we will provide one lakh government jobs to the youth of the state. Education is very important for the development of Punjab but it is very expensive in today’s time,” Channi said while addressing a press conference in Chandigarh.

The Punjab Chief Minister, who is contesting from the Bhadaur assembly constituency in the Barnala district, said it is the responsibility of the government to ensure that every family in the state is educated.

He said, “The state government should ensure that every family in Punjab is educated, so we will provide free education in government schools, colleges to those who cannot afford it. We will bring scholarship schemes in support of this idea,” he added.

Channi has also been declared as Congress’ Chief Ministerial face for the upcoming polls. Punjab will go to the polls on February 20. The counting of votes will take place on March 10.
