Congress, on Monday, criticising Prime Minister Narendra Modi over alleged lack of employment opportunities said that ‘Rozgar Melas’ are being held as he [PM Modi] feels the “heat of an election year” and to save his image. The grand old party’s criticism came after over 50,000 appointment letters to youth were distributed in a Rozgar Mela held on August 28.

The party’s General Secretary Jairam Ramesh termed the Rozgar Melas as the “biggest jumlas” (rhetoric) and said that PM Modi has “failed” to fulfil his promise of creating two crore jobs per year.
