“The promise of 2 Cr jobs per year, echoes like a cruel joke in the hearts and minds of our young”, said Mr Kharge. He also condemned the sad saga of Indian youth to secure a job after completing graduation. “The process from graduation to getting a job is a sad story of daily struggle”, he added.

“Pity, that instead of acknowledging their failure, BJP has turned a blind eye to this looming disaster! Phrases like “Amrit Kaal” have only rubbed salt into the wounds of our YOUTH!”, wrote Mr Kharge on X.
“The youth need to now take matters into their own hands and hold the government accountable for their plight. They better know that a government, which could not create employment in 10 years, will never be able to do so”, he added.
“To protect the future, change this government!”, asserted Mr Kharge in conclusion.
