AGARTALA, Aug 13 (TIWN): “Unemployment” sentiment played a crucial role to empower BJP with two crores job promises in Central, whereas Tripura’s 8 lakhs unemployed youths hoped massive job creation after the Govt was change. But question is “Where is My Job ?” A Govt can send pineapples to abroad, but “Where is My Job?”, asking youngsters. “Feni River bridge will make Tripura a business hub from 2020, but where is My Job?”, “BPO to be opened at Atharomura and Dharmanagar…. But where is MyJob ?” Each and everyone is asking for “a job”, but here in Tripura whole existing recruitment process have been cancelled in the name of so called “Bhrastachar Mukt Tripura”, whereas till which period those interviews will be re-conducted it’s under question. Moreover contractual jobs, jobs under various projects were terminated led massive resentment with Biplab Deb’s flop “Job Fair”.BJP led central govt is also failed to create enough jobs whereas CMIE recorded that 1.26 crore people lost their jobs after demonetisation.Punching holes in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s claims about job creation, Congress on Sunday accused him of hoodwinking the people at a time when his own Cabinet member, Nitin Gadkari, had claimed there were no jobs.

 Asking the PM not to play with statistics, Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera wondered how could the government mix the statistics of Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) with job statistics.

“How can the government mix the statistics of EPFO with job statistics,” Khera asked, referring to Modi’s claim in the interview about the creation of lakhs of jobs based on EPFO data. In an interview with ANI, Modi claimed that employment generation was evident from 45 lakh new subscribers in the Employee Provident Fund and 5.68 lakh people joining the New Pension Scheme in the last nine months.

Last month, EPFO revised down the net enrolment numbers for September-April by 3.95 lakh or 9.6 per cent to 37.31 lakh from its earlier estimate of 41.26 lakh released last month.

The Congress leader said Modi wanted to make people believe that the government’s “failures” were the “achhe din” the BJP had promised to people during its 2014 election campaign. “In 2014, Modi promised a lot of things but now all his ‘so-called targets’ are to be fulfilled in 2022 (108 months) now – a self-extension of 48 more months,” Khera said.

Khera said Modi could not even point out three big achievements of his government during the interview. “He said he can’t. That is the only honest admission in these interviews. He could not speak about his three achievements even after four years in power. He is the Prime Minister, he can not hoodwink the country like this. Do not play with statistics,” Khera said.

When it comes about Tripura, the BJP Govt has shockingly merged employment with MGNREGA mandays to defend itself with Vision Document.

The issue was revealed when Chief Minister Biplab Deb June 25 in the Assembly while explaining Job-opportunities said that over 2.20 crores of MGNREGA works will be given.Tripura having highest numbers of unemployed youths with high qualifications, whereas nothing has been said about them.
