NEW DELHI: Refuting Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s claim that huge number of jobs were created in the last five years, especially under the Mudra Yojana, the Congress on Friday alleged that one crore people have become unemployed due to bad economic policies.
Talking to reporters here, AICC spokesperson Jairam Ramesh said, ”In an interview to a TV channel, PM has said that the opposition has no right to talk of jobs loss. He has claimed that the NDA Governemt generated lakhs of jobs through the Mudra Yojana. However, the reality is that nearly 1 crore jobs were lost last year due to demonetisation and the faulty implementation of the GST. As Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy data, in 2018 one crore people become jobless due to note ban and implementation of GST in haste. So far, India has had 11 prime ministers and Mr Modi was the 12th one. During everyone’s tenure, jobs were created. But for the first time in the history of our country, jobs were destroyed instead of being generated. The history will remember Prime Minister Narendra Modi as job destroyer Prime Minister.” (AGENCIES)
