New Delhi: The Congress slammed the BJP on Monday over protests being held by teachers, whose jobs are reportedly in danger, in Chhattisgarh and alleged that the Narendra Modi government is responsible for pushing youngsters into the “quagmire of unemployment”.

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge shared a video on X, in which the protesting teachers are seen prostrating repeatedly on the road in a unique protest against their removal.

“Only the Modi government and BJP are responsible for pushing the youth into the quagmire of unemployment. Watch this heartbreaking video from Chhattisgarh, how these female teachers are forced to protest in the bitter cold. The BJP government has fired 3,000 teachers from their jobs,” Kharge alleged in a post on the microblogging platform.

On the other hand, BJP-ruled Haryana is becoming number one in paper leaks and the latest example of it is the MBBS paper-leak incident in Rohtak, he said.

“Double engine government is attacking the youth with double power. First attack — the paper is leaked by the mafia in connivance with the government and there is no accountability of the government! Second attack — in the BJP-ruled states, jobs are not available, reserved seats are not filled and dreams of youth are shattered,” the Congress chief said.

The biggest curse of the BJP on youngsters is that of unemployment, he added.
