Congress national general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said on Saturday that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in Madhya Pradesh has only given 21 jobs in the past three years and that the youth of the State has to migrate due to lack of employment opportunities.
Ms. Vadra, addressing a public rally in Bundelkhand’s Damoh district, said, “So much migration happens from this region. People have to leave their families and move far away. Migration only happens when one doesn’t get work in their own area. But, do you know why you are not getting employment here?”
Accusing the BJP-led Central Government of selling several PSUs to “its industrialist friends for pennies”, Ms. Gandhi said that the PSUs now cannot generate employment.
