“The ‘development’ under the BJP government is such that the difference between Sunday and Monday has ended,” Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi.

When there are no jobs, how does it matter whether it is Sunday or Monday!” the Congress leader tweeted.

According to the National Statistical Office (NSO) the rate of unemployment for all age categories has been witnessing a rise. It reached 10.3 per cent in October-December 2000 from 7.9 per cent registered during the corresponding period a year before, as per the NSO’s periodic labour force survey.
