New Delhi: Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Thursday took a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the Rashtriya Rozgar Mela in which appointment letters were distributed to 71,000 new recruits, and said that he is distributing "recruitment letters" in the name of employment.
Stating that there are 3,01,750 vacancies in Railways, out of which 50,000 letters were given for the Ministry of Railways, Kharge called it "Too Little, Too Late".
"Modi ji, is again distributing "recruitment letters" in the name of employment. In the event, 50,000 letters are from the Ministry of Railways only. There are 3,01,750 vacancies in Railways. 30 lakh posts are vacant in government ministries. "Too Little, Too Late" -- This stunt done in the tenth year of the Modi government fits perfectly," the Congress president tweeted in Hindi.
Earlier today, the Prime Minister virtually distributed appointment letters to 71,000 new recruits in the Rashtriya Rozgar Mela and said that Startups have created more than 40 lakh direct and indirect jobs in the country.
The Prime Minister said that the Rashtriya Rozgar Mela shows the government's commitment towards uplifting youth spirit and giving them employment opportunities. (with ANI inputs)
