PSUs were youth’s dream for employment, now 2L jobs decreased: Rahul

Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Sunday attacked the Centre over the decline of over two lakh jobs in the public sector undertakings (PSUs), saying it used to be pride of India and every youth’s dream for employment and the “hopes of lakhs of youths are being crushed for the benefit of a few capitalist friends”. In a tweet in Hindi, Rahul Gandhi said, “PSUs used to be the pride of India and used to be every youth’s dream for employment. However, these are not the government’s priority today.” He said that employment in PSUs in the country has decreased from 16.9 lakh in 2014 to only 14.6 lakh in 2022.
