Congress’s jab on 70,000 jobs offer in Rojgar Mela : ‘Oont ke muh me jeera’

The Congress stated that the Rozgaar Mela, which would see 75,000 people receive appointment letters, is as inadequate as “oont ke muh me jera,” but at least Prime Minister Narendra Modi acknowledged that unemployment is the “biggest problem” of this time. Congressman Randeep Singh Surjewala stated in a video statement that since Rahul Gandhi has been consistently bringing up the problem, this is the Bharat Jodo Yatra’s first success.

But Modiji, you promised two crore jobs every year which makes it 16 crore jobs in eight years. You tell us the date and time when you will fill the 30 lakh vacant government posts. The event of 70 lakh jobs will not do. The youth wants employment. Rahul Gandhi will keep raising their question,” Surjewala said.

During the past eight years, the government has prioritised employment and self-employment, according to PM Modi, who was introducing the Rozgar Mela.

This time we are giving the appointment letters together so that the departments also work in a time-bound manner. We will be giving out 75,000 appointment letters keeping in mind the 75 years of Independence. In the coming months, lakhs of youth will be given appointment letters from time to time. Some Union Territories and the NDA-BJP-rules states are also going to hold such mela to hand over the appointment letters,” PM Modi said.

“We have seen how the government used to work before eight years, how much time a file used to take from one table to another,” PM Modi said. “Earlier, applying for a government job was a task itself. You needed several certificates and recommendations. But we started self-attestation, did away with the interview for Group C and Group D employment of the Central government,” PM Modi said.
