Congress MP Rahul Gandhi has criticised the government over unemployment, claiming that only 12 out of every 1,000 people secure permanent jobs. The statement was reported by DNA India in a headline about his remarks. The available report does not provide details on the data source, the period covered or the definition of a permanent job. Those details matter before the claim can be used to judge employment conditions across India. The figure therefore remains a political assertion until its method and evidence are made public.
