'NoMo jobs!', says Rahul Gandhi on unemployment report; BJP counters
New Delhi, Jan 31 (IBNS): Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday targetted Prime Minister Narendra Modi over a recent survey report which claimed the unemployment rate in 2017-2018 was highest in 45 years, media reports said.
The National Sample Survey Office's (NSSO's) periodic labour force survey said unemployment was at 6.1 per cent in 2017-2018, the highest in 45 years.
Hitting out at the BJP government, Rahul tweeted, "NoMo Jobs! The Fuhrer promised us 2 Cr jobs a year. 5 years later, his leaked job creation report card reveals a National Disaster. Unemployment is at its highest in 45 yrs. 6.5 Cr youth are jobless in 2017-18 alone. Time for NoMo2Go."

The report, which is revealed a day before the interim budget, has been accessed by the Business Standard.
The survey was conducted for the first time since Modi banned of higher denomination notes in 2016.
Comparing the Congress chief with Mussolini, who was a dictator of Italy, the BJP tweeted, " It's clear that he has inherited Mussolini's shortsightedness and has myopic understanding of issues. EPFO's real data shows sharp increase in jobs, created in just the last 15 months. Only a man who hasn't ever held a proper job & is totally jobless can peddle such #FakeNews!"
