New Delhi | Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati today attacked the Narendra Modi government over the unemployment rate which has risen to a 45-year-high at 6.1 percent.
In a series of tweet, Mayawati wrote, ‘Just after the Lok Sabha elections, the Labour ministry through its released data has confirmed that the unemployment rate has reached to a 45 year high at 6.1 percent. But there is no need for the poor and victims of the unemployment to remorse as the time has passed and it’s too late.. It is of no use to cry over spilled milk.”
Mayawati’s tweet has come after the Ministry of Statics released unemployment data projecting the unemployment rate to be at 6.1 percent in 2017-2018.
Questioning the government over the fall in the GDP rate, Mayawati in another tweet wrote, “Also, there is no good news for the country as the rate of economic growth has come down to a low of 5.8 percent. This rate of GDP growth is the result of a huge decline in agricultural and factory produce”.”How will welfare for the already suffering poor be facilitated?” she asked.
