BJP hails Centre’s move to recruit 10 lakh employees, Oppn dubs it as ‘jumle-baazi’

New Delhi: The BJP on Tuesday hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s directive to various government departments and ministries to undertake the recruitment of 10 lakh people in the next year and a half, even as the Opposition dubbed it as “jumle-baazi (rhetoric)” and reminded him that the promise was to provide two crore jobs every year.
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.

PM Shri @narendramodi for this new mission of recruiting 10 lakh people into different government departments and ministries in 1.5 years.” “This shows our government’s emphasis on job creation for our youth and focus on efficient management of workload,” he said on Twitter.
Describing it as a farsighted decision, Home Minister Amit Shah said this will make India’s young population disciplined, skilled, fit and financially empowered so as to make them self-reliant.
This will be a foundation of ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ in a true sense, he said.
