Bengaluru, Jan 28: A group of educated youth belonging to Karnataka for Employment (KFE) set up a pakoda stall in front of the BJP’s office in Bengaluru this weekend.

They were dressed in blue and protesting against Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s comment in a recent TV interview that those selling pakodas should also be deemed employed.

When asked about his 2013 promise of creating one crore jobs every year, the Prime Minister had said that someone selling pakodas and earning Rs 200 a day too is a job holder.

Members of KFE described this as an “arrogant” statement. Mutturaj, convenor of the movement, said Mr. Modi had made “a mockery of those eking out a living as street vendors”.

Demanding employment generation, the organisation’s members said they plan to meet Mr. Modi during his visit to the city on February 4 and present to him their “youth manifesto”, in which one of the demands is employment generation.

The organisation has been holding a series of ‘No job, no vote’ campaigns in Karnataka in the run-up the State Assembly elections.

Comments

Solo arrogant comment..

Lost whole respect for modi govt.

People should not forget this and next time while BJP people asking about votes then should replay like this.

The best way to protest is selling tea. Tea seller also earning around 200 in a day

He start showing his saffron mentality. too arrogant.

Bhakts wont protest because they dont have working brain.

Still people wont learn and again will elect that uneducated chaiwala as PM in next election

That Chaiwala mocking educated people

Rubbish. If these people are educated then wont mock street pakoda sellers. They are mocking.. shame
