India’s population is made up of 65% youngsters below the age of 35. Our youngsters are the bed rock of our economic growth and without worthy employment opportunities for the Aspirational India, we cannot harness the power of youth in nation-building. This is where the present dispensation has failed miserably.

Such was the horrendous state of employment opportunities in India that in the BJP-ruled state of Uttar Pradesh, 93,000 candidates applied for the jobs as peons. Out of these candidates 3,700 were Ph.D holders, 50,000 graduates, 28,000 post- graduates and they were applying for jobs with eligibility criteria of Class V.

This is not a standalone incident but there are hundreds of such of such incidents happening throughout the country under the BJP regime.

Along with the inept handling of the unemployment crisis by the BJP Govt, the wrecking of employment by the second COVID wave has made employment opportunities even more scarce. As per the CMIE report, employment rate is down to 37.6%.

The unemployment rate is at the-still high figure of 6.5%. Under such once in a lifetime crisis, every youngster has one question for the BJP Govt in power: Who is to be held accountable for the massacre of the hopes, dreams & aspirations of the Indian Youth?

I urge you to ponder over the issue of unemployment crisis in India and join hands with me in holding our ruling dispensation accountable for a blunder of such epic proportion .
