Unemployment: Hurt by PM’s arrogant comment, educated youth protest with pakodas

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.

Mangaluru, Jan 13: Supporting former state chief minister and JD(S) leader HD Kumaraswamy who released a "CD on the December 19 Mangaluru violence", Dakshina Kannada party unit president Mohammed Kunhi on Monday demanded a probe into the violence.

Mr Kumaraswamy, who released 35 video clips related to the violence, had demanded the suspension of the Police Commissioner and also sought a house committee to probe the incident.

Addressing media personnel here, Kunhi questioned, "If the police department did not commit any mistake why is the state government looking worried about the CDs released by Kumaraswamy?"
