On a day when star activists and national leaders such as Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi appeared on the political terrain of Bihar, where 71 of its constituencies will go to the polls in less than five days, unemployment remained the most debated political issue. .
The opposition led by Rahul Gandhi and Mahagathbandhan’s chief minister, Tejashwi Yadav, clashed with the NDA on the issue of unemployment in Bihar, which in April this year saw a jump of more than 30 percentage points, and was recorded at 47 , 7%.
“Nitish Kumar says that because Bihar is landlocked, big industries cannot come here. When Laluji was the Chief Minister and he brought jute factories, paper factories, railway factories, was there a sea around Bihar? Nitishji says there is not enough money to pay salaries to 10 lakhs of government employees. Let me explain how it can be done, ”Tejashwi told a crowd in the Hilsa constituency of Nalanda.
“Bihar’s budget is Rs 2 lakh 13 thousand crore. The unspent funds from this budget are close to 40% or Rs 80,000 crore. This amount of money is enough to fund the salaries of 10 lakhs of government employees and we will create these many jobs for the first time in the country’s history at the first cabinet meeting we hold after coming to power, ”said Tejashwi Yadav. to a roar from the crowd.
The final hearing of his father’s bail case on the 9th, Tejashwi said at their rallies on Friday. “Nau ko Laluji riha honge aur dus to Nitishji life honge (Lalu Yadav will be announced on November 9 and on the 10th, date of the polls, Nitish Kumar will make way),” said Tejashwi.
Congressional leader Rahul Gandhi in his Kahalgaon rally also clashed with union and state governments on the issue of unemployment. “Both Modiji and Nitshji showed you big dreams. They said they would change the country. But they didn’t say how. People thought that in the new India there will be no unemployment, farmers will be free, young people will be educated, but all this did not happen, ”said the former head of Congress.
“People were asked to make sacrifices for this idea of ’New India’ repeatedly. From queuing when demonetization was announced to suffering from the new GST. People were recently asked to strike the thalis and turn on their mobile lanterns. But what changed? Did Modi remove India from the crown in 22 days as promised? Gandhi asked.
With the same callousness with which he makes these decisions, Rahul Gandhi said, Modi also announced demonetization without giving a single day for the people of the country, including Bihar migrant workers, a chance to return home safely.
“Narenda Modi and Nitish Kumar have broken the backbone of India’s job creators – farmers, traders, small and medium-sized enterprises, so India is not in a position to give so many jobs to its youth today, “Gandhi said at his rally.
