Gujarat Job Openings: Massive Crowd Gathers, Leading Chaos

Gujarat Job Openings: Hundreds gathered, jostling to make their way inside the venue. The crowd was so dense that it pushed against a steel railing hard enough to make it give way, taking several people down with it. All this was to get inside and give an interview for a total of 10 jobs at a private company in Gujarat’s Bharuch.

Gujarat Job Openings Political Reactions and Blame Game:

While the Congress has attacked the BJP and called the incident proof of growing unemployment and a failure of its much-vaunted Gujarat model, an MP from the ruling party has shifted the blame onto the company.

Videos, which are now going viral, show a queue of hundreds snaking their way up two flights of stairs on either side into the hotel entrance where the interviews were being held, even as over a hundred more look on.

As the crowd swells outside the door, it begins to push against the railing, and when the barrier begins to lean, several people are left with no choice but to stand on it.

Injuries Avoided Despite the Collapse at Gujarat Job Openings:

Anticipating a collapse, the videos show two aspirants jumping down while at least six fall with the railing. However, none suffered serious injuries because the railing was only a short distance from the ground.

Officials said 1,800 people showed up at the Lords Plaza Hotel in Ankleshwar on Monday for an open interview for 10 vacancies advertised by an engineering company located in the Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation complex in Jhagadia.

Congress Criticizes BJP’s Gujarat Model:

Hitting out at the BJP, the Congress said in a post on X that the videos exposed the Gujarat model touted by the party. It said the ruling party is now imposing this model of unemployment on the entire country.

The BJP MP from Bharuch, Mansukh Vasava, said the district is a mini India, and people from all over the country go there to live and work.

Blaming the company for the incident, he said in Hindi, “They were filling up only 10 vacancies and should have specified the criteria properly instead of just holding an open interview. At some level, the incident occurred because of the company. We are worried about it, and steps are being taken to ensure such incidents don’t happen again.”
