Rahul slams centre over job promises, calls it “Maha jumla”

New Delhi, June 14 (Agency) Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday slammed the Central government over the announcement of 10 lakh government jobs in the next 1.5 years and dubbed the center as a government of “Maha Jumlas”. “This is not a government of jumlas, it is a government of ‘maha jumlas” he said on Twitter. Rahul said, “The Prime Minister is not an expert in creating jobs, but in making ‘News’ on jobs”. “Just like 8 years ago, youths were promised 2 crore jobs every year, in the same way now it is the turn of 10 lakh government jobs” he added.

The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) on Tuesday announced that PM Modi had instructed that 10 lakh government job vacancies be filled within the said period.
