Unemployment, price rise, social unrest key issues, but PM not talking about them: Rahul Gandhi
New Delhi, Mar 3: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said unemployment, price rise and social unrest are the key issues before the country and there is anger among the youth due to this, but the prime minister does not even talk about them.
Gandhi and his Congress party have been attacking the government over these matters and urging the people to demand answers on these basic issues.
"Unemployment, inflation and social unrest are key issues before the country today. Due to this, restlessness and anger is increasing among the youth, which is a big problem in itself. Far from the solution, the PM does not even talk about them," he said in a tweet in Hindi.
He used the hashtag "#KiskeAccheDin", and shared a video in which youth in Uttar Pradesh are expressing their anger and anguish over these issues.
The video came on a day when voting for the sixth phase of assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh is underway.
देश के सामने आज बेरोज़गारी, महंगाई और सामाजिक अशांति अहम मुद्दे हैं।
— Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) March 3, 2022
इसके चलते युवा वर्ग में बेचैनी और ग़ुस्सा बढ़ रहा है जो अपने आप में एक बड़ी समस्या है।
समाधान तो दूर, PM इनके बारे में बात तक नहीं करते।#KiskeAccheDin pic.twitter.com/mJRcenUfe4

Congress using hijab issue to pacify minority anger, alleges Karnataka LoP R Ashoka
Bengaluru: Leader of Opposition in the Assembly R. Ashoka has accused the Congress government of using the hijab issue to placate what he described as discontent among minority voters after the Davanagere by-election.
In a post on X on Wednesday, Ashoka alleged that the state government, instead of addressing issues such as price rise, corruption, farmers’ distress and law and order, was attempting to retain its minority vote base by reviving the hijab issue.
Referring to the 2022 dress code introduced by the BJP government, which prohibited hijab in schools and colleges, Ashoka said the Karnataka High Court had upheld the policy and emphasised the importance of discipline in educational institutions.
He questioned the Congress government’s move to revisit the issue and asked whether setting aside the court-backed policy to benefit one community could be described as secularism.
Ashoka further alleged that while the government was willing to permit hijab, it continued to prohibit saffron shawls.
He accused the government of dividing students on religious lines rather than treating schools and colleges as spaces of equality.
Drawing a comparison with Mamata Banerjee’s government in West Bengal, Ashoka claimed that excessive appeasement politics had harmed the state and warned that the Congress in Karnataka could face a similar political response.
He said voters in Karnataka would teach the Congress a lesson for what he termed “vote-bank politics” and for compromising constitutional and judicial principles.
