Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government after data showed there were 15 lakh fewer job opportunities in August as compared to July.

The attack came after CMIE (Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy) data indicated that national unemployment jumped to 8.32 per cent last month - from 6.96 per cent in July

The Congress MP, who has been fiercely critical of the Modi government's economic policies said that the Modi government is "harmful for employment".

Rahul Gandhi further claimed the government does not promote or support any kind of business or employment but wants countrymen to be pretend to be self-reliant.

The warning is ‘Issued in public interest’, Gandhi, who has frequently attacked the government over "crony capitalism" added.
