Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri attacked Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, accusing him of spreading false propaganda against the government. Hardeep Singh Puri simultaneously made multiple posts on social media platform X regarding Haq’s allegations and targeted him. Hardeep Singh Puri said the Congress party has once again become active on social media over fabricated numbers and false data. Even senior party leaders would not investigate the veracity of these facts and offer their own opinions, he wrote.
Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said that under the leadership of the Prime Minister, employment in the state has been increasing in the past few years. Between 2016-17 and 2022-23, employment grew by about 36%, adding about 170 million jobs. We will soon be the third largest economy in the world. During the UPA government, the country’s economy ranked 11th.
The combined market capitalization of 81 listed PSUs, including banks and insurance companies, has grown by 225% in the past three years, driven by increased government capital expenditure and improved capital management. PSU dividends increased. Non-tax revenue mobilization is happening.

Unemployment rate to fall in 2022-23
Hardeep Singh Puri writes that today India’s GDP growth averages over 6.5%. The unemployment rate has fallen to 3.2% in 2022-23. According to PLFS, the unemployment rate among youth (15-29 years old) has fallen from 17.8% in 2017-18 to 10% in 2022-23. Hardeep Singh Puri raised the question where did Kharge ji see a situation like anarchy. They may be aware that between 2017 and 2023, the share of workers in the population increased by approximately 26%. He clearly shared wrong data or his advisors were lying. For young people, this is a misleading number.
10 paper leak scams from the UPA era
He also attacked Hager’s questions about the leaked documents. Hardeep Singh Puri said he should have known that during his long rule, his party had committed many scams, one of which was leaking confidential documents. At least ten major documents were leaked during the UPA administration. Khadge ji, haven’t you heard about the 2007 AIEEE paper leak incident? Or you haven’t heard about PMT 2008, AIIMS 2012, CBSE Class 10th and 12th 2014 and Karnataka, Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Haryana Bang’s paper leak?
Household savings ratio increased under Modi
Hardeep Singh Puri said, I would like to tell Haggarji again that after the epidemic, the overall savings structure of the household sector has changed. In 2011-12, the share of household savings in provident and pension funds was 10%, increasing to 21% in 2022-23. Kharge ji should also stop spreading rumors about GST, he said. India’s inflation rate in 2023 is below the global average of 1.4%. The Reserve Bank of India expects headline inflation to be 4.5% in fiscal 2025 and 4.1% in fiscal 2026.
