Meanwhile, the BJP launched a scathing attack on the JMM-led government over its employment policy and claimed that these recruitments could be possible due to efforts by the previous BJP regime in the state.

BJP state president and MP Deepak Prakash challenged Chief Minister Soren to come out with the facts regarding these appointments. “As far as the appointments of these teachers are concerned, the public and the candidates know that this is the gift of the previous Raghubar Das-led BJP government. The advertisement related to this was taken out in 2016 during the tenure of the previous government.” He alleged that the Soren government was responsible for delays as it had opposed the appointment process while playing with the future of the candidates. He said that ultimately the court verdict came in favour of the candidates and appointments could be possible.
