Govt has failed to act on 'mass unemployment crisis': Congress
Tuesday, 17 September 2024 Congress has criticized the Modi government for not addressing mass unemployment during its first 100 days in office. They blame demonetisation, GST implementation, an unplanned Covid-19 lockdown, and rising imports from China for worsening the situation. The party also points to economic policies favoring large conglomerates as a contributing factor.

The Government will back a third runway at Heathrow Airport as it looks to go “further and faster” on growth, the chancellor has announced. In a speech in Oxfordshire on growth, Rachel Reeves said the west London airport’s expansion is “badly needed” because “for decades its growth has been constrained”. Reeves stated that a third runway could increase potential GDP by 0.43% by 2050 and create more than 100,000 jobs. Heathrow’s plan to build a third runway received parliamentary approval in June 2018, but has been delayed by legal challenges and the coronavirus pandemic. Report by Faragt.
