New Delhi: Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Saturday put out a string of tweets to slam the Modi government. Issuing a report card of sort in his 13 tweets with data, graphs and calculations, Kharge asked about the jobs Prime Minister Narendra Modi had promised.
Kharge said: "Modi Ji came to power with a promise of 2 Cr new jobs every year. Forget creating 2 Cr new well-paying jobs, it took 8 years for the BJP Government to even think of filling 10L existing Central government vacancies.
"Modi is holding Rozgar Melas handing out appointment letters. He addressed the melas giving 75,000 letters in Delhi, 13,000 in Gujarat and 3,000 in Jammu and Kashmir. Today, when millions of youth search for jobs, the Prime Minister is handing over a few thousand appointment letters!
"Rural India is facing the unprecedented challenge of unemployment. The average rural unemployment in the past 6 years is 7.02 per cent (CMIE)"Our youth is forced to wait for years to get a government job. All this is because of lack of will and false promises by the BJP.
"The situation is so desperate that: For 40,000 posts under the Agnipath Scheme, the government received 35 lakh applications; For a few thousand posts in UP, 37 lakh applications were received; Post-graduates and PhDs are applying for jobs well below their qualifications.
"Lakhs of vacancies currently exist in the public sector including in the armed forces, CAPFs, Central government; schools, higher education institutions, health institutions, PSUs, PSU banks, police and courts etc.
"Armed Forces and CAPFs are important pillars for the security and safety of our nation.
