Uttar Pradesh: Congress observed unemployment day to mark PM Modi’s birthday

News Desk: Accusing the Modi government of failing the youth of the country, the UP Congress observed unemployment day to mark his birthday on Friday.

“His government promised to create lakhs of jobs in their manifesto. But, the government has created an environment which has led to extreme joblessness” said UP Congress chief Ajay Kumar Lallu. Party spokesperson Sachin Rawat said youth in UP have been at the receiving end of the farce.

“During the 2017 elections, CM Yogi Adityanath had promised that his government could create 14 lakh jobs each year. An RTI application by us indicated that only four lakh persons have got a job in the past 4.5 years” he said. He added “When we asked the authorities to provide a list of departments in which the jobs were created, they were blank and replied that the data was not available”
