- Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge criticizes Prime Minister Narendra Modi over a recent incident where a woman climbed a tower to attract attention. Kharge alleges a "rank betrayal" by the government, highlighting concerns of high unemployment, inflation, economic inequality, and increased crimes.
- The incident, symbolizing the frustration of young India, prompts a scathing evaluation of the Modi administration's policies and actions.
Kharge argued that the nation's youth, aspiring for employment opportunities, were confronted with a 45-year-high unemployment rate under the Modi government. He accused the government of perpetuating economic inequality, pointing out that the wealthiest 5% of Indians controlled over 60% of the country's wealth, leaving the middle and lower classes to bear the brunt of economic challenges.
The Congress President contended that instead of fostering unity and harmony, the Modi government had sowed seeds of hatred and division among the diverse population of the country.
In reference to the specific incident, where a woman climbed a light tower to address the Prime Minister during his speech in Telangana, Kharge highlighted the significance of the act. He expressed that the visual was indicative of the frustration of young India with the alleged betrayal by the Modi government. The Prime Minister, addressing a gathering in Secunderabad at the time, was captured in a widely shared video urging the woman to descend from the tower, emphasizing the danger and expressing his willingness to listen to her concerns.
