Creation of jobs is the biggest challenge that India faces right now, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi said. The job numbers are nowhere where they should be, Gandhi said, as he admitted that the Congress governments had failed to address the concern.
“Why Mr Modi and Mr Trump rose is because of jobs. [A] lot of people don’t have jobs and they [Modi and Trump] can see [that].”
Those who want jobs helped Modi reach where he is, Gandhi said adding that the space for Modi was creating because the Congress “was unable” to deliver on its promise to create jobs.
However, Gandhi added as an addendum, even the current NDA-led Government has failed to provide Indian youth with jobs.
Rahul Gandhi mostly spoke about jobs and employment, unlike his previous student interaction at the University of Berkley.
