Union Minister Mansukh Mandaviya, citing RBI data on employment generation, highlighted the stark contrast between the UPA and NDA governments. He stated, "My claim is based on the truth... According to the RBI's annual employment data, only 2.9 crore jobs were created between 2004 and 2014 under the UPA government. In comparison, the NDA government has created 17.6 crore jobs from 2014 to 2024, with 4.9 crore jobs added in just the year 2023-24. This data, provided by the RBI, reveals that employment growth under the UPA was only 7%, whereas under the NDA, it has surged to 36% over the last decade, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi."
