Creating jobs was a significant pledge made by the BJP leadership during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Prime Minister Modi has made an announcement as part of this, which the PMO has posted on its Twitter account. 'PM Narendra Modi examined the status of Human Resources in all departments and ministries and instructed that the Government recruit 10 lakh employees in mission mode in the next 1.5 years,' it says. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has instructed all departments and ministries to begin recruiting on a 'mission mode' basis, according to the Prime Minister's Office (PMO). The opposition has often chastised the BJP government on the issue of unemployment. A large number of vacancies in various government sectors has been repeatedly used to criticise the ruling BJP.
