Ansul Kumar Avijit, AICC spokesperson and grandson of Babu Jagjivan Ram, said here on Friday, April 28, that the BJP was diverting attention from real issues to camouflage its failure.
Addressing media persons, Mr. Avijith said suicide rate is the highest in Karnataka due to lack of employment and opportunities while capital and talent was moving away due to lack of governance and cited figures to buttress his claim. He said that Karnataka was once known to be an industrial and IT hub but was moving in the reverse gear and employment opportunities had diminished.
What is tragic is that youngsters not only have lesser job opportunities but they have to pay bribes to secure a job as evident in various recruitment scandals, he added. Unemployment and price rise are two of the biggest issues not only in this elections but also in the country but Prime Minister Narendra Modi was insensitive to it, said Mr. Avijith.
