In a bid to get inside the job interview venue in Gujarat's Bharuch, around 1,800 aspirants on Monday jostled leading to a stampede-like situation while pushing against a steel railing which, failing to take the pressure, finally collapsed and took many of them down with itself. The interview for ten vacancies was advertised by an engineering company located in the Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation complex in Jhagadia.

The BJP vs Congress Feud Over Umemployment

In light of the incident, Congress slammed the ruling BJP over growing unemployment. In a social media post, Congress said the videos exposed the miserably failing Gujarat model touted by the party.

Accusing the company for the incident, the BJP MP from Bharuch, Mansukh Vasava, said, "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."
