Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Wednesday attacked the Modi government over issues ranging from youth employment and education to alleged irregularities in recruitment examinations, donations to the Ram Mandir trust and reports of Chinese encroachment along India's borders.
Sharing excerpts on X from his opening remarks at the Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting, Kharge said India's young population was struggling to find quality education and meaningful employment.
"Education is becoming more expensive, schools are being closed, and even after studying, our young people face paper leaks, irregularities in recruitment examinations and delays in appointments," Kharge said.
He recalled former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi's focus on young people, education and skills, saying Congress must put forward a clear roadmap linking education to employment.
"Today, Congress must put forward a clear Education-to-Employment roadmap so that our young people have better opportunities and a more secure future," Kharge said.
Kharge also raised the issue of accountability over donations received by the Ram Mandir trust.
"Serious questions continue to arise about the money, gold and other donations received by the Ram Mandir trust. People have a right to know how these donations are being accounted for and used," he said.
"Any financial wrongdoing must be properly investigated, and those responsible must be held accountable," Kharge added.
