Unemployment 'imposed by BJP' biggest issue in Lok Sabha polls: Kharge
==========

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge criticizes BJP for the imposed unemployment crisis in Lok Sabha elections, proposing 'Pehli Naukri Pakki' under 'Yuva Nyay' to combat the issue. The party's manifesto focuses on justice pillars and promises various reforms, aiming to address key societal concerns. Kharge claims that unemployment is the biggest issue in the Lok Sabha elections and that the youth are struggling to find jobs. He cites the case of India's premier institutes, IITs and IIMs, where a significant number of students are not getting regular placements. The rate of youth unemployment under the Modi government has tripled since 2014. The Congress party has introduced the 'Pehli Naukri Pakki' guarantee under 'Yuva Nyay', which grants diploma or degree holders below the age of 25 a legal right to demand employment and a minimum annual salary of Rs 1 lakh. The Congress manifesto focuses on five "pillars of justice" and 25 guarantees, including the right to apprenticeship, a legal guarantee on the minimum support price (MSP) for crops, and a constitutional amendment to raise the cap on reservations for SCs, STs, and OBCs.
