This article discusses how Congress party workers in Aurangabad marked the birthday of Prime Minister Modi by highlighting unemployment issues in India.
Today, while the nation celebrates Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 75th birthday, Congress party workers in Aurangabad observed what’s called ‘Unemployed Day’. They protested by sitting on the roadside and polishing shoes, trying to draw attention to the issue of unemployment in the country.
The Youth Congress members expressed their frustration over Prime Minister Modi’s unfulfilled promise to create 2 crore jobs every year. They believe that instead of providing employment, the government is suggesting that youth take up work like frying snacks or polishing shoes, which they found unacceptable.
The protest began at the Gracement Memorial Building, and the workers marched to Ramesh Chowk, shouting slogans against the government. They highlighted their grievances by frying dumplings and polishing boots to symbolize the lack of job opportunities for educated youth.
According to the Youth Congress, the unemployment situation is dire, especially in states like Bihar, where many educated individuals are forced to migrate to find work. They emphasized that the government has failed to create a conducive environment for industries, resulting in high unemployment rates.
Youth Congress leaders criticized Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for aligning with the BJP, claiming it has not benefited the youth. They argue that setting up factories in Bihar could stop the migration of workers and create much-needed jobs in the state.
Summary:
- Congress workers in Aurangabad protested unemployment on Modi’s birthday.
- They criticized the government’s failure to deliver on job promises.
- The protest included shoe polishing and frying snacks to symbolize joblessness.
