Rahul Gandhi Dares PM Modi: Job Crisis Biggest Issue, Why Don’t You Talk About It?

Former Congress chief and Wayanad MP launched a scathing attack against Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the job crisis in the nation. Slamming the Prime Minister over economic slowdown, Gandhi said the government had failed to deliver on its promise to create jobs. “PM Modi had promised 2 crore jobs, but last year our youth lost 1 crore jobs. Wherever PM goes he talks of CAA, NRC but the biggest issue of unemployment is not mentioned, PM doesn't even speak a word on it,” Gandhi said. Reviving the note ban debate, Gandhi said, “Even today ask an 8-year-old, did demonetisation benefit you or harm you? Child will say harm. Earlier, we were competing with China but now sadly, China has left us far behind. The whole world knows if there is anyone who can rival China, it is India's youth.”

Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday accused the Narendra Modi government of tarnishing India's image as a country where peace prevailed and urged the youth not to let their voice be suppressed. “The reputation and image that India had in the world was that it is a country of brotherhood, love and unity, while Pakistan was known for hatred and divisiveness. This image of India has been damaged by Narendra Modi. Today, India is considered as rape capital of the world.”

Gandhi was addressing the Yuva Aakrosh Rally over unemployment in Jaipur on Tuesday.
