Spurt in crime rate due to unemployment: Chinta Mohan

Congress leader flays Centre’s Assets Monetisation Plan

Former Union Minister and Congress Working Committee (CWC) member Chinta Mohan has said that India has been witnessing uninterrupted crime against women, drug and liquor mafia owing to spiralling unemployment and poverty.

Addressing a press conference in Tirupati, Dr. Mohan said the underprivileged sections were mostly demoralised in the country due to lack of sources to lead a dignified life, and this had forced the youth, and even minors, to resort to crime. He said that instead of axing the roots of smuggling involving drugs, the Central authorities were enacting a drama by grilling film personalities.
