Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday over his remark that eight crore new jobs have been created, and accused him of “rubbing salt into the wounds” of the youth by “telling one lie after another”.

His attack comes after Prime Minister Modi emphasised last week that the creation of eight crore new jobs in the last three to four years has “silenced” those spreading fake narratives about unemployment.
