AICC General Secretary, former Union Minister and Deputy Chief Minister of Rajasthan  Shri Sachin Pilot, in the presence of Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee president Shri Devender Yadav and AICC Delhi In-charge Qazi Mohd Nizamuddin, today launched the  Rs 8500  per month “Yuva Udan Yojna” (Youth Apprenticeship Scheme) to the educated, unemployed youth of Delhi for one year, which will be job-linked, when the Congress comes to power. He said that this was the third guarantee of Delhi Congress ahead of the Delhi Assembly elections on February 5, 2025, after it had pledged Rs 2500 per month Pyari Didi Yojna and Rs 25 lakh health insurance scheme to all residents of the Capital.  He said that the BJP and Aam Aadmi Party had totally ignored the youth in the past 11 years when  they were busy building the ‘Raj Mahal’ and ‘Sheesh Mahal’, respectively. He said that Congress was committed to fulfil its guarantees on coming to power, as people have trust and faith in Congress president Shri Mallikarjun Kharge and Shri Rahul Gandhi to deliver on the promises the party makes wherever the Congress comes to power.

Congress stipend not a dole, but to develop the skill of the unemployed youth—Sachin Pilot

Addressing a press conference at the DPCC office, Rajiv Bhawan here today, Shri Sachin Pilot said that Congress’  guarantee was the best tribute to Swami Vivekananda on his birth anniversary, which is celebrated as the National Youth Day. He said that it was not a dole for idling youth, but job oriented stipend to develop and enhance their skills. He said that while the Government will provide the funds, private companies will engage the registered youth  to develop their skills and absorb them, or for the youth to start their own ventures. He said that the Congress guarantee was to motivate the youth, for if the “youth gets discouraged, the country suffers”. He said that that Congress will do constructive works, and not play the  “Tu Tu Mai Mai” politics of BJP and AAP.  Others present at the press conference were NSUI president Varun Chaudhary, AICC Delhi co-incharge Danish Abrar, media national co-ordinator Abhay Dubey, Delhi Pradesh Youth Congress president Akshay Lakra, spokespersons Jyoti Kumar Singh, Rashmi Singh Miglani and Asma Tasleem.

BJP, AAP neglected the youth as unemployment touched the skies—Devender Yadav

Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee president Shri Devender Yadav said that Congress has announced the Rs 8500 month “Yuva Udan Yojna” on the National Youth Day, which falls on Swami Vivekananda’s birth anniversary, for the uplift of the young. He said that due to the neglect of the youth by BJP and AAP, unemployment hit the skies with the idling youth taking to liquor and drug addiction. He said that the Congress stipend will channelize the skills of the youth to constructive works, to give direction to their lives, as in the past 11 years, people only witnessed “monopoly, price rise and corruption” but no jobs for the youth. He said that Congress will provide jobs to the youth, and not play the “Raj Mahal-Sheesh Mahal” construction politics of BJP and AAP.

Shri Devender Yadav said that the Congress Government had turned Delhi into a world class city, but now lawlessness and joblessness rule the roost. He asserted that when Congress comes to power, all needs of the people will be fulfilled. “Hogi Har Jarurat Puri-Congress Hai Jaruri”, he added.

BJP, AAP broke the back of the youth—Qazi Nizamuddin

Qazi Nizamuddin said that BJP and AAP broke the back of the youth with soaring unemployment, but  Shri Rahul Gandhi’s  Bharat Jodo Yatra and Shri Devender Yadav’s Delhi Nyay Yatra,  have kindled hopes among the youth of a positive change in their lives as they repose  trust and faith in Congress and Shri Rahul Gandhi to deliver on their promises.
