Unemployment, inflation hitting hard: Opposition in Rajya Sabha

IndiaTimes Wednesday, 6 December 2023
Opposition members in Rajya Sabha criticized the government's portrayal of a rosy economic picture, citing the harsh realities of unemployment and inflation. The government defended its stance, highlighting India's status as the fastest-growing major economy. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will address the discussion on the country's economic situation. The debate centered on the opposition's claim that the government was using propaganda and publicity tactics. However, BJP members argued that India's high economic growth rate has led to improved living conditions. They cited data from the Periodic Labour Force Survey to support their claims.

LS Polls 2024: Congress manifesto launch | Priyanka Gandhi, Kharge slam BJP, Modi | Oneindia News

Top Congress leaders, including the party president Mallikarjun Kharge, former president Sonia Gandhi, held a rally in Jaipur on Saturday, April 6, to publicly launch its election manifesto 'Nyay Patra'. The Jaipur public rally comes a day after the Congress released its manifesto for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls promising a legal guarantee for MSP, and passing a constitutional amendment to raise the 50 per cent cap on reservations for SCs, STs and OBCs among others. The release of the manifesto 'Nyay Patra' was announced by Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, expressing happiness and pride in her mother Sonia Gandhi's presence in Rajasthan after becoming a member of the Rajya Sabha. Unemployment, claimed to be at its peak, was criticised, with allegations made against the BJP and Modi government for failing to address the issue adequately. The Agniveer scheme, accused of shattering people's hopes, was mentioned, along with concerns raised about leaked papers in various states and the ongoing protests by farmers, suggesting that PM Modi is unwilling to heed their grievances.
