The government should work with an aim to provide jobs to one lakh people every year, Chouhan said, adding that 70% of the budget is spent on salary payment.

Development work is also done with this budget, but the government cannot compromise on the issue of employment, he added. A government job has its limitations, and the state does not want that its talented youths should be disappointed by not getting any employment, he said.
