In response to widespread criticism of dwindling employment figures, Prime Minister Modi announced in June this year that ten lakh new jobs would be created in the next 18 months.
Rahul Gandhi, the Congress leader at the time, had lashed out at the Centre, calling it a government of "maha jumlas."
The Congress leader compared the recent declaration of 10 lakh government jobs to the pre-poll promise made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2014 of two crore jobs being made available.
The BJP and PM Modi have been under heavy fire from the opposition parties for allegedly "destroying" the economy and creating unemployment. In both the state and Lok Sabha elections, employment has been a key campaign issue.
