Unemployment rate in Kerala highest in country, says BJP President

Thiruvananthapuram, May 20 (UNI) Unemployment in Kerala is almost double the national average, BJP Kerala President Rajeev Chandrasekhar has said. Nine years of LDF misrule have dragged Kerala into a deepening crisis, with the state now bearing the shameful distinction of having the highest unemployment rate in the country, he alleged. "At nearly 7 percent, unemployment in Kerala is almost double the national average." While BJP-ruled states like Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat are creating jobs and driving growth, our youth are being forced to migrate in search of livelihood. Flawed policies and a complete lack of visionary leadership lie at the heart of this crisis. Anti-entrepreneurial Communist practices like 'Nokku Kooli' and extortion have created a hostile environment for investors, driving private capital and businessmen out of the state. Kerala has no vibrant startup culture, entrepreneurship-friendly curriculum, or real plan to build one. Instead of addressing these shortcomings, the LDF Government has turned its back on the National Education Policy introduced by the Modi Government, which is aimed at tackling such issues. This can change if there is a change in Kerala's politics. Only the BJP has the vision and will to build a 'VikasitaKeralam,' one that creates real opportunities for our youth within their state. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Central Government is already taking concrete steps to turn this vision into reality, he said. UNI DS BD
