"What happened to promise of two crore jobs"? MP Congress chief targets PM Modi
Bhopal: Madhya Pradesh Congress chief Jitu Patwari on Sunday targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi, asking what happened with the promise of providing two crore jobs to the youth in the country.
"He must answer that what happened to your (PM Modi) promise of two crore jobs. One crore and thirty lakh youths are unemployed. Who is responsible for it? Support price of Rs 2700 for wheat and Rs 3100 for paddy. But it has not been fulfilled so far," Patwari said, targeting PM Modi.
"People in Madhya Pradesh voted in the name of former Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan and the 'Ladli Behna' scheme but you have made a CM who is not eligible...," the Congress leader added.

"There is an unbreakable bond between Congress and corruption...There was a song called 'Tu chal main aayi,' Congress and corruption have the same relationship...You must have seen that wherever Congress comes, corruption reaches there too," he said in Madhya Pradesh's Sidhi district.
