Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday targeted the Modi government over a range of issues, including large scale unemployment.
Addressing party workers while leading a protest 'Sansad Gehrao' by the Indian Youth Congress, Rahul said the Modi government failed to fulfil its promise of providing two crore job opportunities to the youths of India.
Rahul accused the PM of "snatching away employment" from the hands of the youths and would talk about everything except unemployment.
"Unemployment is the biggest issue this country is facing today...PM [Modi] will talk about everything but not unemployment. He had promised to provide 2 crore employment each year," Rahul said.
Rahul said the day the youth of the country start speaking the truth, the Modi government will crumble. The youth of the country cannot get employment till Modi is the prime minister, he said.
"Your mobile phone is your voice. Narendra Modi has put the idea of Pegasus in the mobile phone of every youth, not just mine. This idea is that if you speak the truth, Narendra Modi and Pegasus are there in your phones. Pegasus is a way to silence the voice of people," he said.
While the Opposition has been attacking the government over the
Pegasus issue and accusing it of spying, the ruling party has denied all charges.
In his address he also said the BJP-led Government at the Centre was trying to help big corporates and "finish small businesses".
"Hum do humare do ki sarkar, sirf kuch udyogpatiyon ke liye kaam karti hai (this is a government of 'we two, our two' that works for a few industrialists only)”, said Rahul.
"Narendra Modi is not in partnership with youth, farmer, labourers or small traders...but in partnership with two-three businessmen," he said.
