Cong aiming to bring employment revolution in India, says Pilot

Published on: 

Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister and State Congress president Sachin Pilot on Tuesday said his party is aiming to bring 'employment revolution' in the country and accused the BJP of polarising castes and communities to "hide" the NDA Government's "failures".

He also alleged the BJP failed to counter the narrative set by the Congress in the general elections and is running away from real issues concerning the country.

Rather than speaking about its performance in the last five years and the promises made in the last Lok Sabha polls, the BJP is raising sentimental and emotional issues, Pilot alleged.

"Green revolution happened in India when Indira Gandhi was the prime minister. The Congress has now committed itself to have an employment revolution in the country and therefore the party's plan in the elections is focused on job creation," Pilot told PTI here.

"Jobs can be created and backlog vacancies can be filled," he said, adding, the Congress has presented its vision for the country.

Referring to the Congress' proposed minimum income guarantee scheme — 'NYAY' — Pilot said it will push the economy and generate jobs. The party has promised to give an annual income support of Rs 72,000 to poor families under the 'NYAY' scheme.
