Continuing his critique of the ruling party, Rahul Gandhi accused the BJP of harboring intentions to alter the Constitution, citing their ambitious slogan of “400-paar” (aiming for over 400 Lok Sabha seats for the NDA).
In response, the Congress leader announced the launch of the ‘Pehli Naukri Pakki’ scheme, designed to empower youth by offering them one-year apprenticeships in companies, followed by guaranteed employment opportunities. Participants in this initiative will receive a monthly stipend of Rs 8,500 during the training period, totaling Rs 1 lakh over the course of a year.
Additionally, Rahul Gandhi outlined the Congress’s plan to bolster financial support for women, proposing a monthly transfer of Rs 8,500 into their accounts to elevate them to the status of “lakhpati.” These announcements were made as part of the Congress’s electoral campaign ahead of the polling in the tribal-dominated Ratlam-Jhabua constituency, where former Union minister Kantilal Bhuria, representing the Congress, will contest against BJP’s Anita Nagar Chauhan.
