2024 Lok Sabha Elections: Ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Thursday assured the country’s youth of the grand old party’s commitment to providing employment opportunities and announced a five-point agenda for a new ‘Rozgar Revolution.’
The list included ‘Bharti Bharosa’ (recruitment trust), confirmation for the first job, no paper leaks, social security in the gig economy, and financial assistance with ‘Yuva Roshni.’
Congress Chief mentioned ‘Youth Justice’ and posted on X (formerly Twitter), “As soon as the Congress government is formed in 2024, a new employment revolution will begin by giving recruitment assurance to the youth of the country. Today the Congress Party is making a big announcement for crores of youth of this country, which has 5 main points.”
‘Bharti Bharosa’: The first point was the Congress party’s ‘Bharti Bharosa’ or recruitment trust, in which the party promised to hire young people and claimed that all 30 lakh vacancies in the Central Government would be filled.
“This guarantee of Congress is for the youth of the country, in which first of all we guarantee recruitment confidence to all the youth. In which all the vacancies of around 30 lakhs in the Central Government will be filled. A timeline will be decided from paper submission to recruitment.”
Confirmation of first job: The second point stated that the youth’s first job would be confirmed and that the grand old party would provide apprenticeship training to all Diploma or Degree-holder youth under the age of 25 in the government or private sector.
“Even after having a degree, every second youth of the country is unemployed because they do not have proper apprenticeship training. Congress Party guarantees that by bringing a new right to apprenticeship law, we will provide apprenticeship training to every Diploma or Degree holder youth below 25 years of age in the government or private sector. All apprentices will be given an assistance of Rs 1 lakh i.e. Rs 8,500 per month in a year.”
No paper leaks: The post on X also mentioned freedom from paper leaks, claiming that the party would put an end to them by enacting a new law.
Social security in the gig economy: The fourth point stated that Congress would provide social security in the gig economy for the benefit of the public.
“Rahul Gandhi met lakhs of people during Bharat Jodo Yatra and Bharat Jodo Nyaya Yatra. He met many people including truck drivers, mechanics, carpenters, delivery people, and taxi drivers. Rahul ji shared their sorrows and pains listened to their problems and came to know the difficult environmental conditions in which they are working in cities miles away from their villages. He heard and understood all the problems they face, how low their salaries are, all these things.”
‘Yuva Roshni’: The fifth point mentioned financial assistance under ‘Yuva Roshni’ and stated that a fund of Rs 5 thousand crore would be created and distributed across all districts of the country.
