Rahul Gandhi targets joblessness with ‘dard, data, daulat’ in Prayagraj
The Story in Brief
The Story in Brief
Rahul Gandhi on Saturday told students in Prayagraj that education certificates have lost their value because they no longer lead to jobs. Speaking at the Congress's 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' event, the Leader of the Opposition framed his address around three Ds: dard (pain), data, and daulat (wealth). He called India's 40 crore youth its greatest strength but said they are trapped in a 'chakravyuh' of expensive degrees, paper leaks and AI-driven job losses. The BJP hit back, asking why Gandhi did not visit protesting aspirants in Jharkhand, where the Congress is a junior coalition partner. Deccan Herald reported Gandhi claimed only 12 out of every 1,000 young Indians get permanent jobs.
The Indian Opinion
Both the Congress and the BJP are using India's youth as a political prop. One side blames every ill on the Centre while offering no alternative; the other deflects to a Congress-ruled state instead of engaging with the unemployment data. The real test is whether either party will back its rhetoric with a concrete, measurable plan to improve the official jobless rate for young Indians.
