ന്യൂഡല്‍ഹി: തൊഴില്‍ നല്കുമെന്ന വാഗ്ദാനം പാലിക്കാന്‍ കഴിയാത്ത മോദി സര്‍ക്കാരിനോടു യുവജനങ്ങള്‍ പ്രതികരിക്കുമെന്ന് രാഹുല്‍ ഗാന്ധി. ഇന്ത്യയിലെ ഭൂരിപക്ഷം യുവജനങ്ങളും തൊഴില്‍ രഹിതരാണ്. ഭാവിയെ പറ്റി സ്വപ്നം കാണാന്‍ കഴിയാത്തവര്‍-കോണ്‍ഗ്രസ് ഉപാധ്യക്ഷന്‍ രാഹുല്‍ ഗാന്ധി ന്യു ജെഴ്‌സി പ്രിന്‍സ്റ്റണ്‍ യൂണിവേഴ്‌സിറ്റിയില്‍ നടത്തിയ പ്രഭാഷണത്തില്‍ ചൂണ്ടിക്കാട്ടി

യു.പി.എ സര്‍ക്കാരിന്റെ കാലത്തും ഇതിന് പരിഹാരം കാണാന്‍ കഴിഞ്ഞില്ല. അതാണ് മോദിക്ക് ഗുണമായത്. 
ഇതേ   സാഹചര്യം ഇപ്പോഴും നിലനില്‍ക്കുകയാണെന്നും ഇത് മോദിക്കും തിരിച്ചടിയാവുമെന്നും രാഹുല്‍ പറഞ്ഞു. 

ദിവസേന മുപ്പതിനായിരം ജോലി എന്ന വാഗ്ദാനവുമായാണ് യു.പി.എ സര്‍ക്കാര്‍ അധികാരത്തില്‍ വന്നത്. പക്ഷെ അത് നല്‍കാന്‍ കഴിഞ്ഞില്ല. ഇതിന്റെ ഫലം യു.പി.എ സഖ്യത്തിന് കഴിഞ്ഞ ലോക്സഭാ തിരഞ്ഞെടുപ്പില്‍ അനുഭവിക്കേണ്ടി വന്നു.

തെരഞ്ഞെടുപ്പ് വിജയത്തിനപ്പുറം പ്രശ്നത്തിന് എങ്ങനെ പരിഹാരം കാണണമെന്ന് ബി.ജെ.പിക്ക് ഇപ്പോഴും മനസിലായിട്ടില്ലെന്നും രാഹുല്‍ ചൂണ്ടിക്കാട്ടി.  

UPA failed to create enough jobs, Modi government unable to either: Rahul

Princeton (New Jersey), Sep 20 (IANS) Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi has admitted that the previous UPA government led by his party "could not deliver adequately" in creating jobs, and said the Modi government despite its promises has been unable to do so either.

Interacting with students at the Princeton University here on Tuesday, the Congress leader said that the reason for the rise of Narendra Modi and also to an extent of US President Donald Trump was the "question of jobs".

"A large part of our populations simply do not have jobs and cannot see a future and so they are feeling the pain. And they have supported these type of leaders. The problem is that the record on jobs of these leaders -- I do not know Trump so I won't go there -- but certainly our Prime Minister is not good enough," Gandhi said.

The Congress leader said jobs were the central challenge in India and 30,000 youth were entering the job market everyday in India but only 450 jobs were being created.

He admitted that the previous UPA government could not deliver adequately on the job front, which he said was a key reason for Modi leading the BJP to victory in the 2014 general elections.

"So those same people who got angry with us because we could not deliver on those 30,000 jobs are now going to get angry with Modi. The central issue is resolving that problem."

He accused the Prime Minister of diverting from the issue of job creation and pointing fingers elsewhere.

"The anger is building up in India right now. We can sense it. So to me, the challenge is how to solve the problem in a democratic environment. 

"Frankly, the Congress party was unable to do it. But Modi is also unable to do it. It is a deeper problem, so we have to first accept it as a problem and then we have to unite at solving it. Right now nobody is willing to accept," Gandhi said. 

"Second challenge is huge migration to cities and these are not being equipped to handle the type of pressures that they are coming under," said Gandhi.

He also said that blue collar jobs were only created in India.

"If you look at blue collar jobs today, China dominates them. They (China) dominate them because they have a particular type of political system. They use coercion to dominate them, but they have got a competitive advantage in that space," said Gandhi.

"Democratic countries are struggling to produce blue collar jobs. That to me is a real problem, that's a problem in the US, India and in Europe. They are struggling to get the blue collar jobs..

"You can't not have blue collar jobs when you are big country..That gap is creating the churn in the politics. That is the reason for disaffection or anger in our country," he added.

Gandhi said: "Job numbers are nowhere they should be. That is the crux India has to figure out."

Gandhi said small companies should be able to turn into big companies for jobs to pick up but that was not happening.

"You have large companies who have a role, but then the small companies that should be turning into large companies, and medium companies that should be turning into large companies - that's not happening.

"For me, that's where real jobs are going to come from. You also can't just ignore agriculture. There is a lot of jobs that will come out of agriculture..40 per cent of our vegetables rot today. That's a huge waste," he added.

Faced backlash in democratising party's youth wings: Rahul


Princeton (New Jersey), Sep 20 (IANS) Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi has hinted that he faced a backlash to his efforts to democratise the party's youth organisations and said he has always been in favour of opening up systems.

Interacting with students at the Princeton University here on Tuesday, Gandhi said he had spent quite a bit of his time addressing the problem of access to information and making the system more transparent. 

"There is access to information problem in India and that's something I spent quite a lot of my time working on. Internally in the party, particularly in the youth organisations, democratising, holding elections...But you get a backlash because it disturbs people. People do not like transparency," he said. 

"It is disruptive, transparency is not easy but it is powerful," he added. 

During his tenure as general secretary in charge of the party's frontal organisations, Gandhi had sought to democratise the Youth Congress by holding elections to choose office bearers, ending the earlier system of appointment by nominations. 

Gandhi has also been keen to foster internal democracy in the party at various levels.

During the interaction, the Congress leader also pitched for making the working of parliamentary standing committees more open. 

"Nobody knows what happens inside the committee system. I sit on a couple of committees and it has 20 people and nobody sees it. So bringing in other people, making it accessible to people to see what's going on in the law making process, to make this law making process transparent, that is a powerful thing," he said. 

Gandhi said decentralisation of power with expansion of telecom and computers had helped transform India. 

"Decentralisation is always good in India, opening up, giving access to people is always good," he said.
