'Disease of unemployment' spread by BJP has put future of youth in danger in Haryana: Rahul
The Hindu
Ahead of Haryana elections, Rahul Gandhi criticises BJP on unemployment in Haryana, promising prosperity and 2 lakh permanent jobs under Congress government.
Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Friday (October 4, 2024) alleged that the "disease of unemployment" spread by the BJP has put the security of Haryana and the future of the youth in "deep danger", and asserted that a Congress government will ensure that employment returns and every family is prosperous in the State.
Mr. Gandhi shared on X a video of his interaction with a group of women during his recent Vijay Sankalp Yatra.
Along with the video, he said in his post on X, "The disease of unemployment spread by BJP has put the roots of Haryana, the future of the youth and the security of the state in deep danger." "Some sisters of Haryana gave shelter during the Vijay Sankalp Yatra, fed homemade rotis with great love and also explained the complex problems of the state," Mr. Gandhi said.
Today, Haryana has the highest unemployment in India, he said.
"The reason for this is BJP has broken the backbone of every system that provides employment to the youth of the state in a decade," he alleged.
The BJP has broken the back of small businesses with flawed GST and demonetisation, Mr. Gandhi said.
It has broken the spirits of youth preparing for the army with Agniveer, he said.
