New Delhi, February 3: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday targeted the government over the issue of unemployment, saying it has "failed miserably" to generate jobs for the youth of the country.

He said Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman should not be afraid of answering questions raised by him on behalf of the youth, to whom the government is answerable. Rahul Gandhi Targets PM Narendra Modi Over Unemployment at Jaipur's Yuva Aakrosh Rally, Says '2 Crore Jobs Were Promised But 1 Crore Lost'.
