Tope told Free Press Journal: “A large number of posts are vacant in almost all departments and they should be filled up at the earliest. The BJP government did not do much. Job recruitment is necessary because of the extra burden on the existing staff, especially after the formation of the new government.” He said that both the CM and the DCM listened to their arguments.
