Last Updated 24 February 2021, 16:22 IST

As the protest by job aspirants snowballed into a major row in Kerala, the state Cabinet on Wednesday decided to create 400 new posts in the government sector. The Cabinet also decided to give government jobs to 82 medal winners of the National Games who were on an indefinite protest in front of the government secretariat over the last 45 days.

The decisions came at a time when the Opposition Congress-led UDF was making the protest by job aspirants a major political issue. Even Congress leader Rahul Gandhi called on the protesting job aspirants on Tuesday. The protest by those who cleared the Kerala Public Service Commission's recruitment tests was continuing as any decision on extending the term of the list was still pending.
