Congress MP Rahul Gandhi criticized the Haryana government for the lack of employment opportunities leading to youth migration. In a public rally, he shared personal stories and laid out promises for change, including financial support for women, youth jobs, and protection of the Constitution.

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, on Thursday, took aim at the Haryana government ahead of upcoming state elections, criticizing it for failing to provide adequate employment opportunities, resulting in youth migration. Addressing a public rally, Gandhi highlighted the struggles of families separated by migration, sharing the poignant story of a boy named Dev who longs for his father's return.

'Dev's trembling cry – Papa, come back! – was heart-rending,' Gandhi said, expressing his determination to address the emotional and economic distress caused by migration. He criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for being disconnected from such issues, emphasizing that it's Congress's responsibility to ensure youth in Haryana can thrive within the state itself.

Gandhi outlined a series of promises aimed at improving the lives of Haryana's residents. These include financial support for women, filling government job vacancies, guaranteeing Minimum Support Prices for farmers, providing housing for the poor, and protecting the Constitution. He stressed the need for a caste census to better allocate resources and called for collective action to create a state where families can live without fear or sorrow.
