Local Candidates Act

On February 26, 2021 the Governor of Haryana Mr. Satyadeo Narayan Arya gave his assent to the Haryana State Employment of Local Candidates Act, 2021.This bill accomplished one of the key promises made by the ruling alliance partner Jannayak Janta Party during the Assembly elections of 2019.

There is criticism about the state approving a bill giving 75 percent reservation to Haryanvis in the private sector in certain jobs as it is unconstitutional and will be a death knell for industry in a competitive world.
