The Centre's Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has informed the Lok Sabha that 22 crore applications were received for government jobs since 2014 but only 7.22 lakh applications were considered, the NCP's chief spokesperson Mahesh Tapas said.
This means only 0.32 percent of the applicants got jobs and over 99 percent were rejected, he said in a statement.
"Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to power promising huge job opportunities to the youth. But the reality is far from perception. Unemployment is at its highest today owing to failed policies. But the Modi government is besieged only with politics of hatred and divide and, hence, has no time for developmental issues of inclusion and growth," he claimed.
