Congress leader Udit Raj has voiced support for Rahul Gandhi's recent remarks on unemployment, stating that the assertions made by the Leader of the Opposition during his Texas visit are accurate. Raj underscored the negative impact of Artificial Intelligence on employment, calling for a return to Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices (MRTP). He compared India's situation unfavorably to China's near elimination of unemployment.

Raj also criticized the influence of RSS ideology in various educational institutions, accusing the organization of trying to exclude OBC, SC, and ST communities from the education system. Congress MP Manickam Tagore echoed these sentiments, accusing the BJP of thriving on falsehoods and expressing concern over RSS efforts to marginalize women.

Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi highlighted the shift from production to consumption as a key factor behind India's unemployment crisis. He pointed out that unlike many other nations, India has moved away from manufacturing, which historically created jobs. Gandhi reiterated his party's belief in a multiplicity of ideas, challenging the RSS's vision of a monolithic India.
