Lok Sabha 2024: Did the government deliver on promises of jobs and employment?

As Mumbai, Thane, Palghar and Kalyan get ready to vote on May 20th, a look at the government's performance on promises of jobs and employment.

In the 4th phase of the Lok Sabha Elections, among other regions in India, six constituencies of Mumbai (city and suburban), Thane, Kalyan and Palghar will vote on May 20th. As the campaign peaks and promises fly from every leader and candidate, voters are getting ready to cast their precious vote. Making an informed choice, is the first step towards strengthening democracy and ensuring sustainable and equitable life for all.

Mumbai Votes, a not-for-profit, independent info-bank, conducts research on election manifestos, party promises, their implementation over the years and sector wise performance of different political parties. In the run up to the 2024 elections too, it has been working on reports, that will enable citizens to understand various aspects of governance and performance of the elected representatives, in the build up to these elections.

The underlying theme of these reports is an analysis of whether parties actually managed to fulfil the promises they made in the last elections – whether it be in the startup world, employment, or EWS reservation.

Mumbai Votes has made these videos for you to watch before you hit the polling booths on the 20th. So as the Mumbai Votes Team says, “Don’t vote. Select!”
