Priyanka Gandhi Slams Yogi Adityanath Over Youths Sent to Israel

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra criticized Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for sending youths to Israel for jobs, calling it a shame rather than a success. This followed Adityanath's comment on her Parliament appearance with a 'Palestine' handbag. Gandhi highlighted the risks faced by these youths abroad.

In a pointed critique of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra lambasted the government for sending young individuals to work in Israel. She argued that this is not an achievement but a disgrace.

The controversy ignited when Adityanath, during a session, alluded to Gandhi's handbag bearing 'Palestine', while highlighting that over 5,600 youths from Uttar Pradesh have gone to Israel for construction jobs.

Gandhi countered, emphasising the precarious conditions these youths face abroad, and criticized the lack of employment opportunities at home. She urged that sending them to a conflict zone is not praiseworthy but shameful.
