Congress election manifesto promises 24 lakh new government jobs

26 April 2019 Congress election manifesto promises 24 lakh new government jobs to be filled by March 2020 ( in next 10 months after assuming power in May 2019 In my earlier post of 22 April , I had pointed out that this promise would : # Require an Annual ( recurring ) salary/wage burden of Rs 48 lakh*lakh # Require appointing 1000 persons per HOUR ( till Mar 20 ) Now consider this : # Even if 50 % of 24 lakh vacancies are office-based, that is 12 lakh persons # Each office-based person would need , at least 50 sq ft of office floor space ( table + chairs on either side ) # That translates into 600 Lakh sq ft of new office space # At Rs 20,000 / sq ft, this additional office space would cost , Rs 12 Crore*lakh ! ( From our tax money ? ) # And how will RaGa manage to construct 60 lakh sq ft per MONTH of new office space , starting June 2020 ? Dear Reader : Please forward this post to : 'manifesto@inc.in'
