Rahul Gandhi Strikes a Chord in Haryana Over Job Crisis Amid ‘Dunki’ Remarks
Haryana, September 27, 2024 – Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s remarks about the youth exodus, specifically addressing the struggles of Haryana’s youth, have resonated with many. During a recent address, he shared the story of a young man who tried various exams, from the Army to Railways, but eventually left the country due to unemployment. Gandhi’s comments, connecting to the local term “dunki” (referring to illegal migration routes), shed light on the increasing number of youths leaving Haryana in search of better opportunities abroad.
In Haryana, where farming is no longer a viable option for many and unemployment remains high, Gandhi’s speech emphasized the failures of the state government in curbing joblessness. Earlier this year, the government passed a bill to combat dubious immigration agents, yet migration continues as a symbol of prosperity.
Gandhi’s focus on unemployment has drawn attention to the ongoing struggles of Haryana’s youth, raising questions about the effectiveness of local governance ahead of the 2024 Assembly elections.
