While addressing the press during the launch, Rahul Gandhi talked about the biggest problem of youth, which is unemployment.

“Forget job creation, today the youth has lost jobs. This is happening because all the work is diverted to 2-3 industrialists. So, Congress has decided to work on the creation of jobs,” he said.

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, the main leader of the Congress party in UP, was also present on the occasion. She said the party wants to focus on development and not on negative propaganda based on caste or communalism.

She further said today’s youth is qualified but not getting jobs. Not only this, they face so many difficulties in the process of examination schedules, delayed results, long waiting to join among other issues.
