BJP MP Tejasvi Surya claimed that there is no unemployment in the country. He added that the comments made by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is completely baseless.
Tejasvi Surya countered the remarks of Rahul Gandhi in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday, 9 February. Furthermore, he said that the “only unemployed person is the prince of Congress party.”
On the contrary, the same day Union Home Ministry told Rajya Sabha that as many as 9,140 people died by suicide due to unemployment from 2018-20.
While discussing on the budget in Lok Sabha, Surya said, “Before Modi there was double-digit inflation. Now have single-digit inflation. Before the size of India’s GDP was Rs 110 lakh crore. After Modi, the size of the GDP is Rs 230 lakh crore. Before Modi, India’s exports were Rs 2.85 lakh crore. After Modi, it is Rs 4.7 lakh crore.”
The Indian Express reported, Surya said, “If the GDP has increased multiple times, if the number of unicorns have increased multiple times, how can there be no employment generation. The congress party and their dynastic leaders are confusing their political unemployment as unemployment in the country. The hardworking and talented people have all the opportunities. The only unemployed person is the prince of the Congress party.”
Other parliamentarians reminded that when lakhs of diyas were lit by the Yogi government in Ayodhya and how after the function, people were collecting mustard oil from the diyas.
Furthermore, another MP reminded that oil was Rs 70 a litre, and now it is Rs 250 a litre.
