Haryana CM hits back at Bhupinder Hooda on job data

Chandigarh/new delhi, July 15

CM Manohar Lal Khattar today hit back at Congress leader Bhupinder Hooda on the increasing unemployment rate in the state, saying he referred to a report of an institution that did not have credibility.

The rhetoric being made by Hooda on the increase in unemployment rate in Haryana was false and baseless, he said. The CMIE is a privately owned company created to make profit, and its decision cannot be called fair and transparent, he said. “The CMIE’s survey report is not based on employability, workforce and labour force.”

“The survey report covers only 0.028% of the total households, which is not enough to present a complete picture.”

Meanwhile, Hooda accused the BJP government of undoing the gains on socio-economic parameters, achieved during the Congress government led by him. He questioned the CM on discounting the data collated by the CMIE with regard to the dismal employment scenario. “The National Statistical Organisation date also points to the state reeling under unemployment.” — TNS
