While addressing public meeting at Mandli in Billawar today, Sharma called the BJP Government at the Centre a “flop show” for not living up to the promises of generating employment in the country and said BJP has failed to create jobs. He alleged that India has seen the highest rate of unemployment since 35 years.
Manohar Lal further stated that India’s unemployment rate rose to a high of 8.48 per cent in October 2019 , up from 7.2 per cent in September as per data from CMIE. The unemployment rate for the month is highest since August 2016, reflecting an overall economic slow down in the country.

India has approx. 65% of youth population but 30 % of them are unemployed.
