'Ration Scheme Hai, Not Jobs': Priyanka Gandhi Slams Modi Govt Over 'Rising Unemployment'
Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi addressed a rally in Raebareli where she cornered Modi-led government over inflation, unemployment, and Agniveer scheme, among other things.
A day after the third phase of the Lok Sabha elections, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi on Wednesday addressed a rally in Uttar Pradesh's Raebareli, from where her brother and former Congress president Rahul Gandhi has been nominated to contest elections. During the rally, she slammed the Prime Minister led Modi government over "rising unemployment" in the country saying "Ration scheme hai, not jobs."
Criticising the Modi-led government over inflation and unemployment, she said: "Today, inflation and unemployment are the two biggest problems in the country. Under Modi's rule, inflation is so high that even with hard work, the earnings are not sufficient to fulfill the needs. Instead of helping you, the government has only provided you with 5 kilograms of ration. Even in farming, profits are not possible because GST has to be paid on everything."
"Rashan pakda do ki scheme hai naukri pakda do ki nahi." "There is a scheme to provide free ration to the people but no provision to provide jobs to the citizens seeking employment opportunities," Priyanka Gandhi added.
आज देश में महंगाई और बेरोजगारी दो सबसे बड़ी समस्याएं हैं।

मोदी जी के राज में इतनी महंगाई है कि मेहनत कर कमाई होने पर भी जरूरतें पूरी नहीं होती।
सरकार ने आपकी मदद करने के बजाए आपको 5 किलो राशन पकड़ा दिया।
खेती में भी कमाई नहीं हो पा रही क्योंकि हर चीज में GST देनी पड़ रही है।… pic.twitter.com/9732bT6tnr

Priyanka Gandhi Slams BJP Over Agniveers & Religion, Caste-Based Speeches
Slamming the Modi-led government over Agniveer scheme, Priyanka Gandhi stated: "...Youth used to workout and train at 3 or 4 AM to get into the army...But Modi introduced the Agniveer scheme which will allow the youth to work in the army for four years and then return to their homes as an unemployed person again...They bring schemes not to solve your problem but to break your hopes...All their schemes are for millionaries and billionaires. They have waived off Rs 16 lakh crores of these people through banks..."
Training guns at the BJP for spreading lies under the garb of religious sentiments, she said: "Politicians now a days know that they don't have to work for the people and provide jobs, end inflation...They have understood that they just have to get on stage at the time of elections and talk about religion to evoke religious sentiments and make people feel that their religion is in danger..."
"PM Modi's government is strengthening the billionaires but weakening the Democracy," she added.
Highligting the "guarantees" promised by Congress, she said: "There are a few guarantees which we have promised to offer including Rs 1 Lakh annually that will be transferred to the account of the family's oldest woman. Apart from the reserved posts, half of them will be reserved for women to provide them equal opportunities..."
