Senior Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Friday targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the Central Government’s internship scheme and alleged that the promise of Rs 1 lakh crore internship has remained another “jumla”. Sharing the Lok Sabha figures, Rahul Gandhi claimed that the scheme has failed to fulfill its promises and accused the government of misleading the youth. In his post on X (earlier called Twitter), Rahul Gandhi wrote, “₹1 lakh crore jumla – Season 2! Even after 11 years, PM Modi has the same old slogans and the same old figures. Last year, one crore internships were promised from ₹1 lakh crore – the same promise this year too!”

The Congress MP cited an official reply given in Parliament on July 21, 2025, in response to his question on the Pradhan Mantri Internship Scheme (PMIS). The Ministry of Corporate Affairs revealed that 10.77 lakh applications were received under the scheme, of which only 1.53 lakh offers were made. However, only 9,453 interns actually joined it.

₹1 lakh crore jumla – Season 2!
