Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Saturday alleged the government "does not want to accept" that there was a "job crisis" in the country, and said Prime Minister Narendra Modi should hold discussions with the youth to address the issue. He was interacting with college students.
Gandhi said the Modi government's spend in education sector has declined in the last few years. "Government must make bank loans easily available, introduce more universities, which hasn't happened at all in the last five years," said Gandhi. "In a county of over 1.2 billion people, we are creating about 450 jobs per 24 hours while China is creating 50,000 jobs in the same time.
He also spoke about his hug with PM Modi and said that the latter needs more love in his life.
Gandhi also spoke about the assassinators of his grandmother, former PM Indira Gandhi, who he said taught him how to play badminton.
He said, "When my grandmother died, my father was in Bengal. My mom was strict and more disciplined and I was closer to my grandmother. She was murdered by her own security guards, and I was very angry. But when my father came and hugged me, my anger disappeared."
