Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the issue of jobs, claiming that 30 lakh posts are vacant in various government departments but the PM distributed just 75,000 appointment letters.
His attack came over a media report which claimed that 1,600 posts are vacant in central secretariat services.
PM Modi promised 2 Cr Jobs, per year. In 8 years, 16 Cr Jobs should have been created. More than 30 Lakh posts are vacant in various Govt departments. But PM Modi distributed just 75,000 odd applications, Kharge said in a tweet.
Last month, Prime Minister Modi launched a "Rozgar Mela" and underscored his government's efforts to create jobs in the last eight years. More than 75,000 people were given appointment letters for various government jobs in the first tranche.
