'Not Giving 2 Crore Jobs Is Modi's Guarantee': Kharge Slams Govt Over Unempolyment, Inflation
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge remarked that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's guarantee will not provide 2 crore jobs every year as he had promised.
Slamming the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge asserted on Saturday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's guarantee will not provide 2 crore jobs every year as he had promised. Kharge made these pointed remarks during his address at the Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee-organised 'Nyay Sankalp Workers' Convention at Ramlila Maidan, Geeta Colony, in the national capital.
According to the news agency ANI, Kharge said "They (BJP) had promised to provide 2 crore jobs, 20 crore jobs every year, where are these jobs?... Not fulfilling this is Modi's guarantee. And he said I will give Rs 15 lakh to everyone. What can we call him (PM Modi) other than 'Jhuthon ka Sardar'? He betrayed our farmers, youth, and women."
Describing the upcoming Lok Sabha elections as a battle to safeguard the Constitution and democracy, Kharge alleged that if the BJP returns to power, everyone will be permanently under the dominance of PM Modi. He also said, "This fight is to save the Constitution and democracy and if you fail in this, you will become the slave of (PM) Modi permanently. If we do not fight this BJP firmly, then our youth, women, scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, OBCs, all of them will suffer in the days to come. Because the Prime Minister will put the people of this country into slavery."
Highlighting the soaring prices, Kharge pointed out that the cost of an LPG cylinder, which stood at Rs 450 during the Congress-led UPA term, has surged under PM Modi's tenure. He further criticised the diminishing employment opportunities in the country, noting that 30 lakh government posts are currently vacant.
"Today employment is decreasing. There are 30 lakh government posts vacant. Why is Modi Saheb not giving this, (this is) because, if he gives permission then SC/ST, poor and backward people will come to those places. So they decided to stop recruitment for these posts," Kharge further stated.
While criticising the employment opportunities in the country, he also said, "Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru established many public sectors which created employment opportunities for the public."
