Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president D.K. Shivakumar walked alongside Rahul Gandhi, MP, in the Bharat Jodo Yatra wearing a bright red T-shirt with a message highlighting the problem of unemployment.
‘Youth need jobs, not empty promises’, was the message on his T-shirt. On October 12, Congress leaders resumed the yatra at Challakere town in Chitradurga district.
“It is our responsibility to be accountable for the promises we make to our youth, who repose their faith in us believing that we would take care of their future and utilise their potential. Youth need jobs, not empty promises,” Mr Shivakumar said in a veiled attack on the BJP government’s failure to tame rising unemployment in Karnataka.
