Unemployment & graft up as they are tied to 'vote chori', says Rahul Gandhi

NEW DELHI: Claiming that the young generation will no longer accept "vote theft" and "job theft" which are interlinked, Congress' Rahul Gandhi said unemployment and corruption will continue to mount as long as "elections are stolen". He accused PM Modi of destroying the future of India's youth.

"The biggest problem for youth in India is unemployment - and it is directly linked to vote theft. When any govt comes to power by winning trust of people, its first duty is to provide employment and opportunities to youth. But BJP does not win polls honestly - they stay in power by stealing votes and holding institutions captive," he said, adding, "That's why unemployment has reached its highest level in 45 years. That's why jobs are declining, recruitment processes have collapsed, and youth's future is pushed into darkness. That's why exam paper leak and every recruitment is tied to stories of corruption."

Rahul posted on X videos of Modi doing his morning exercise, planting saplings and feeding peacock, and of job-seekers being lathicharged in Patna. "The youth of the country works hard, dreams, and struggles for their future. But Modi is only busy with his PR, getting celebrities to sing his praises, and billionaires make profits. Breaking the hopes of the youth and making them desperate has become hallmark of this govt."
