Fact Check:
To investigate this claim of Aam Aadmi Party and Manish Sisodia, we did a simple search on Google. During this we got a report published on the English newspaper ‘The Hindu‘ itself. In this report, the claim of the Aam Aadmi Party has been described as misleading.
The Hindu has titled this report- “AAP’s claim of creating 10 lakh jobs is misleading”. It has been written in detail in this report that till May 1, only 12,588 people had secured jobs through the portal. This figure of 12,588 is also an estimate of the government, as it is based solely on phone calls with them. The Delhi government does not have the names or any other details of the people who actually got the job, the information has been confirmed by multiple sources.
Conclusion:
After analyzing the report of ‘The Hindu’, it is coming out that the claim of Aam Aadmi Party is misleading. According to this report, not 10 lakh people but only 12,588 people have got jobs.
