'Where are 16 cr jobs?' Congress chief Kharge asks PM Modi
New Delhi/UNI: Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Saturday put out a string of tweets to slam the Modi government.
Issuing a report card of sorts 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.
Modi Ji came to power with a promise of 2 Cr new jobs every year.

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," he added.
Kharge further said, "Modi Sarkar has failed to generate new employment opportunities for the youth! We don't hear 'Make in India' ‘Skill India’ anymore ! What happened to these programmes and their slogans?
"Where are the 16 Cr jobs that you promised? Maun kyun ho? Modiji?"
