The high-stakes battle for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections has intensified, with Congress MP Rahul Gandhi unveiling a bold new proposal addressing the pressing issue of youth unemployment. Addressing a public meeting in Telangana, Gandhi announced the ‘First Job Pakki’ scheme, an ambitious initiative that promises to provide employment opportunities and comprehensive training to India’s unemployed youth.
Outlining the contours of the plan, Gandhi declared, “Now we are bringing a new scheme – ‘First Job Pakki’, meaning in one year we are going to give rights to all the unemployed youth of India in companies, public sector, private sector, government hospitals, offices. “
Gandhi’s pledge to tackle the pressing issue of youth unemployment head-on resonated with a significant portion of the electorate. The Congress party believes that by directly addressing a key concern affecting millions of young Indians, the ‘First Job Pakki’ scheme could prove to be a game-changer in the upcoming elections.
As the nation gears up for the fourth phase of voting on May 13, political parties have intensified their campaigns, leaving no stone unturned in their quest to sway voters. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who addressed a rally in Telangana on Wednesday, launched a scathing attack on Rahul Gandhi, questioning the Congress party’s sudden silence on the Adani and Ambani business conglomerates.
The clash between the rival political camps has escalated, with both sides trading barbs and accusing each other of failing to deliver on promises made to the electorate. As the election fever reaches its peak, the nation awaits to see how the electorate will respond to the myriad of promises and proposals put forth by the contending parties.
With youth unemployment being a key agenda, Rahul Gandhi’s ‘First Job Pakki’ scheme has undoubtedly added a new dimension to the electoral discourse. Whether it will resonate with the voters and translate into tangible support for the Congress party remains to be seen as the high-stakes battle for the Lok Sabha untangles in the coming weeks.
