Congress Criticizes PM Modi Over Rising Unemployment
The Congress party is telling the Prime Minister that too many people are out of work, and this is a big problem.
They say that for the last 11 years, things like high prices and fewer jobs have made life hard for many families, especially the poor and middle class.
The Congress believes the Prime Minister is more focused on winning elections than fixing these problems.
They pointed to a report that shows more people are unemployed now than in the past six months.
Many people have lost jobs in areas like building things and in banks.
The Congress feels the Prime Minister should be busy solving these issues instead of giving speeches.
Congress alleges rising unemployment is a grave concern, with the rate reaching 7.5% in October 2025, the highest in six months.
Party spokesperson Jairam Ramesh criticized PM Modi for being in 'election mode' instead of addressing economic issues.
The Congress claims that all sections of society, including students, youth, farmers, and laborers, are unhappy with the current government.
The party highlighted job losses in sectors like construction (over 90 lakh) and a decline in salaried jobs (25 lakh).
Congress also cited rising inflation, falling rupee value, and widening income inequality as major concerns impacting common citizens.
