Kerala BJP president Rajeev Chandrasekhar on Friday stated that the Congress-led UDF government must first resolve the state’s severe unemployment crisis and Kerala Public Service Commission (PSC) appointment delays before protesting in New Delhi over the NEET examination paper leak.
Addressing the media here on Friday after meeting with agitating job aspirants, BJP Kerala Chief Rajeev Chandrasekhar criticized the opposition’s actions as a political distraction. “Our Young people are taking Kerala PSC exams to secure jobs, but the employment opportunities they rightfully deserve are being denied to them,” he said.
Chandrasekhar criticized the state government for ignoring Kerala’s high unemployment rates. He urged the Chief Minister to shift focus from “photo opportunities” in Delhi to solving the local youth employment crisis. “Instead of traveling to Delhi for photo opportunities, our Chief Minister must focus on the pressing issues at home. I urge him to prioritize the needs of our youth and tackle the severe unemployment crisis gripping our state,” he said.
He alleged that the UDF government failed to create any new jobs despite being in office for over two months. “We need to see right through the political theater being staged by the CPM and Rahul Gandhi in Delhi. While our local youth face a genuine crisis, these leaders refuse to lift a finger to help them at home, yet they travel there just to make empty speeches,” the BJP Kerala chief added.
Expressing solidarity with the PSC rank holders, he said, “Employment is the right of these youth, not a privilege. We stand in total solidarity with the protesting PSC rank holders and pledge our 100 per cent support to their cause.”
