The matter is that in the form of electoral lollipop in 2019 by the central government, about 138000 vacancies were taken out in railways. After winning the election, the government had forgotten this vacancy that it has to increase its process further.
Whenever this issue was raised by the student, the government did not conduct exams on the pretext of corona pandemic. It became a trend after a digital movement in Twitter with the help of teachers.

Around 138000 vacancies were taken out by the Railways for the post of Group D in 2019, in which it was said to be given job only after CBT 1, PET, Medical. But till now the exam is not conducted. It was announced by the Recruitment Board to start the exam from 23 February 2022. But a month before the exam, CBT 2 was added in the recruitment process, due to which the student is very angry. Some students told that the central government has made the recruitment process a five-year plan, before the election, they shower jobs, and after finishing the whole process, the second election comes.
