Launching a scathing verbal attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi made a nasty comment over the PM over rising unemployment in the country.

Speaking at an election rally in Delhi on Wednesday, Gandhi said, “The PM won’t be able to come out of his home. The youth will beat him up with sticks and make him understand that his country can’t progress without providing jobs to youth.”

He also criticised the Union Budget 2020, which was recently unveiled by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. “Unemployment rate in India is at a 45-year high but nothing was spoken about it in budget by Narendra Modi or Nirmala Sitharaman. Each and every youth of the country is asking about jobs. This is the reality,” Gandhi said.

Hitting back at Gandhi for his remarks at the PM, Union minister and BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said, “They want to convert this nation into Shaheen Bagh. They are training their political.

Gandhi, who has been making fierce ahead of Delhi assembly elections on February 8th also targeted AAP chief and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal.

“The youth are roaming on the streets, angry with unemployment. And their anger is being misused by Modi and Kejriwal… Their politics is of hatred and if they provide employment to you, then their politics will end. You people need to understand that they (Modi and Kejriwal) only want to divide India,” he said.
Addressing a poll rally in Chandni Chowk in old Delhi, Rahul Gandhi said there was no need for the prime minister to give lessons on nationalism and he should explain why was he not able to provide employment to the youth.
Gandhi said before Modi came to power in 2014, there was no Hindu-Muslim divide in the country from 2004-2014 but then “he comes from Gujarat and spreads poison”.

“The youth now does not know what he has in store for the future. He has fear in his heart. Narendra Modi does not want the youth to get employment because unemployment is oxygen for his politics,” he said.
