In 24 hours, China gives jobs to 50,000 youth and the BJP gives jobs to 450, says Rahul Gandhi

Congress chief Rahul Gandhi took on the Narendra Modi government in Maharashtra’s Goregaon, where he had gone to address its poll booth workers – a key move ahead of next year’s general elections.

“I have asked Mumbai residents on what differentiates Mumbai from other cities… All of them say that work is recognized and respected in city,” Mr Gandhi said in his address.  “The Congress takes everyone along just the way Mumbai does. Cong has never intimidated people, it worked to bind the nation”.

The young people, he said, are keen to compete with China, “In 24 hours, China gives jobs to 50,000 youth and the BJP gives jobs to 450,” he said.

“The PM is saying fight among yourselves, there is no need to work. I am the PM — India would be run on basis of my speeches. But in the end, jobs would have to created, farmers would have to be protected, there is no other alternative,” he said.

The address to the 15,000-odd booth-level party workers was part of the project ‘Shakti’. A brainchild of the Congress chief, the project aims to empower the ground-level workers and facilitate two-way communication between them and the central leadership.
