Youths’ dreams have shattered: Congress
The Congress said, “Take a look at the viral video and guess the condition of the youth in the country. A company announces 100 vacancies and thousands queue up. This shows that unemployment has reached its peak in the country and the youth are troubled. The Modi government makes a false claim about employment. But the clip shows the reality. Two youths end their lives every hour due to unemployment. As many as 83 pc unemployed are youths. They are forced to migrate to war-torn countries such as Russia and Israel in search of jobs. Youths’ dreams are shattering due to wrong policies of the Modi government. They are struggling for small things. Narendra Modi is not worried about the youth’s future. He is only worried about himself and his rich friends.”
