Harish Poonja, BJP MLA, claimed here on Wednesday that 5.2 lakh youth graduated in the State during 2022-23. Of them, only 3,500 youth have got financial assistance under Yuva Nidhi, a guarantee scheme of the Congress-led State government.

Addressing presspersons, he alleged that the Congress thus has cheated the youths and it should apologise youth for the same. Mr. Poonja said that the Congress is scared of youth as, he claimed, a majority of them are favouring return of Narendra Modi as the Prime Minister for the third term.

The MLA calimed that the unemployment rate came down by 4.7 % during the last 10-year rule of the NDA government.
