'Promise Of 2 Cr Jobs A Year...': Varun Gandhi's Subtle Reminder After PM Modi Announces 10 Lakh Jobs

Responding to PM's announcement, Gandhi said that more fast-paced initiatives will have to be taken to fulfill the pledge of giving employment to two crore persons.

New Delhi: BJP leaders have hailed the decision by Prime Minister Narendra Modi of providing 10 lakh jobs to people in a span of 18 months. Following suit, BJP MP Varun Gandhi also responded to PM Modi's decision. In a subtle reminder that more efforts should be made to provide employment to people, Gandhi took to Twitter and said, "meaningful efforts will have to be made to create new employment opportunities and to fill up over one crore sanctioned by vacant posts."

He said more fast-paced initiatives will have to be taken to fulfill the pledge of giving employment to two crore persons.

The Lok Sabha member, who has often raised the issue of unemployment and has been seen as critical of the government on various matters, thanked Modi for understanding the "pain and anguish" of unemployed youths.

In a tweet on Monday, Gandhi had said unemployment was the most burning issue in the country.

PM Modi directs all govt departments to provide 10 lakh jobs in 18 months

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday asked various government departments and ministries to undertake the recruitment of 10 lakh people on a "mission mode" in the next year and a half.

The direction from Modi came following a review of the status of human resources in all government departments and ministries, the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) said.

The government's decision comes amid the opposition's frequent criticism of it on the issue of unemployment. A large number of vacant posts in different government sectors has often been flagged.

"PM Narendra Modi reviewed the status of Human Resources in all departments and ministries and instructed that recruitment of 10 lakh people be done by the Government in mission mode in next 1.5 years," the PMO said in a tweet.
