Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Friday took a jibe at the Modi government at the Center over rising unemployment, saying that under the BJP rule, India has become a ‘Vishwaguru’ in snatching jobs. Congress President Kharge tweeted from his Twitter account that in the last 9 years, the Modi government at the Center has become a ‘Vishwaguru’ in snatching the employment of crores of youth.
Kharge has also posted a video along with the tweet. The video highlights the failure of the government to provide employment to the youth. It is shown in the video that the Modi government at the Center had promised to provide two crore jobs to the youth every year. It has been asked whether the government has given jobs to 18 crore youth of the country?

The video also states that only 40 percent youth are looking for jobs, while 60 percent youth depend on others’ income. The unemployment rate in the country is at a 45-year high and 63 per cent of Indians in the age group of 20 to 24 are unemployed. It also pointed out that according to the CMIE survey, the unemployment rate reached a four-month high in April this year.
The Congress, in its video targeting the central government, alleged that unemployment has doubled in the last 9 years and India has become the ‘Vishwaguru’ in snatching jobs. The country is suffering for the last nine years. Earlier in the day, Congress also launched a booklet titled ‘9 years, 9 questions’ to highlight the failures of the Modi government in the last 9 years and asked nine questions to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
