Taking up the issue of employment, Congress Supremo Rahul Gandhi has mounted a scathing attack on Prime Minister Modi. In a sharp tone, Rahul Gandhi adviced Prime Minister Modi to focus on the problem of unemployment. Congress President Rahul Gandhi was addressing a rally in his Lok Sabha constituency Amethi, where he left no sone unturned to criticise the ruling party.
"Prime Minister should not waste the time. Instead, he should work towards providing jobs to the youth. There are two major issue that our country is facing, the issue of farmers and the issue of employment. The Government must solve these two issue as soon as possible. If Modi ji is incapable of doing so then he can ask Congress to take over. We will solve this problem within six months".
He also charging BJP for ignoring schemes such as food park and others projects meant for the development of Amethi
Unfortunately, BJP has harmed the interest of people of Amethi. I completely stand against this. This is how they think but don't worry I will fight for the interest of Amethi. I will fight for all of you."
Further referring to schemes such as 'Make in India' and start up campaigns, Rahul Gandhi branded them as null and void.
"These will have no meaning if there is no talk about 'Make in Amethi' and 'Make in UP", he added.
Rahul Gandhi's trip to his Parliamentary Constituency created buzz in the political circle after district authorities suggested postponing the event citing security concerns. On October 1, the local administration wrote to the District President of Congress in Amethi to ask the Congress vice-president to reconsider his visit. Stating Muharram and Durga idol immersion as the reason, Yogesh Kumar, the district magistrate of Amethi, in the letter added cops are deployed to maintain law and order during the festivities. However, they gave the go-ahead on Tuesday.
Congress President is on a two-day visit to Amethi where on the second lag of his tour he is scheduled to meet people at Munshiganj guest house. He will also address a party workers following a conference. On Friday, he will meet party workers at Puamau in Rae Bareli Lok Sabha constituency of his mother Sonia Gandhi before returning to Delhi.
