The political debate around India's youth has flared up again, this time over a pointed social media message. Congress, posting from its official handle @INCIndia on the platform X, took direct aim at the Modi government, raising questions about both its intentions and its policies on two issues that matter deeply to young Indians: employment and the integrity of competitive exams.
The Central Charge: Unemployment and Paper Leaks
In the post, Congress claimed that Narendra Modi has set a record for unemployment and paper leaks in the country. According to the party, both problems strike directly at the lives of young people, and it is the youth who are bearing the heaviest cost of these failures.
Accusations of 'Mobile, Data and Drugs'
The party alleged that the Modi government is working to distract unemployed youth from the real issues. According to the post, the government is misleading young people in the name of mobile, data and drugs, even as the basic question of jobs remains unanswered.
The Pain of Aspirants and Their Families
Congress described paper leaks as the single biggest blow falling on the youth. The party stressed that young people study day and night through sheer hard work, while their parents cut the household budget to pay the expensive fees charged by coaching institutes. Yet repeated paper leaks, it argued, wipe out all of that effort and sacrifice in one stroke — framing the issue not just as a student's struggle but as a burden shared by the entire family.
Public Reaction
The post drew a mixed response. While some users agreed with the issues the party raised, many others questioned Congress about its own track record and past tenure, turning the comments section into a sharp back-and-forth.
