LUCKNOW, Feb. 21 -- Opposition members staged a walkout in the state assembly on Friday over the issue of unemployment and details of the Uttar Pradesh Outsource Service Corporation (UPOSC).

Replying to a question by Congress legislature party leader Aradhana Mishra, labour minister Anil Rajbhar said 15,96,095 candidates got jobs in the private sector via employment fairs between 2017 and 2026. Mishra sought a reply from the labour minister regarding why youths in the state were not being given jobs despite programmes such as skill development and employment fairs. The Opposition said the UPOSC was formed in September 2025 but there was no clarity about its working.
