Speaking at Belagavi, Rahul Gandhi said, “When I toured across the state during Bharat Jodo Yatra, unemployment was one issue that bothered the youngsters. I had spoken to thousands of young people to understand their issues and how the corrupt BJP government remained as a mute spectator on the unemployment issue. The Congress government will come to power in Karnataka, and I can assure 10 lakh jobs in the span of next five years. We will also fill the vacancies in the government sector, if voted to power.”

The Wayand MP has also launched the ‘Yuva Nidhi’ scheme for the unemployed in the state. “The Yuva Nidhi scheme will immediately be implemented in the state, after winning the elections. The scheme will provide Rs. 3000 every month to unemployed youth with graduation degrees for two years. It will also provide Rs. 1500 every month as an allowance to those young people with a diploma and unemployed in the state,” he said.
