Your presentation makes it abundantly clear that Modi stands for stability, and continuity and RaGa stands for disruption and destruction. INDI block will wreck the Indian economy in a matter of weeks.

Elections haven't been at a wrong time. Since 2004 it is occurring every 5 years in the Summer season

I hope what he’s saying is wrong and that BJP doesn’t need alliance partners to form the Govt or lose seats as compared to last time

Please clarify the actual no of unemployed ?

[@racistocrazy]

Count yourself as one of those unemployed because these statistics can’t be quote by an individual unless he’s been sitting in a political party’s hired office😂😂

[@rajx7120]

Unemployment is not the real problem. Under-employment IS.
Most of unemployed are those who studied for the rat race of software engineering and UPSC, instead of skilling themselves for manufacturing jobs.
With manufacturing sector missing, our manufacturing imports have been depreciating the rupee, and causing petrol to become expensive.
This is the moral of the story !

[@biswaroopmaiti2943]

A lot of people are also pursuing higher studies, or abroad for work or studies. Further, a lot of people work beyond their retirement age. They might retire and take up another job. So, your calculations need to take account of these numbers, each of which runs into crores.

@@biswaroopmaiti2943 My comments were in line with the international definition of Unemployment

Sharad or anyone would you please tell me what TCA is standing for .

Total and Complete Awareness 😁

[@sajalkumarmandal6659]

That's why we needed one nation one election so that government would focus only in governance not in politics so much. once in a 5 year that's enough. when the state election came the central government would put some freebies that will hurt Indian economy. hoping Modi 3.0 will bring one nation One election. so that business society do their work freely.

[@user-ng5xr2ju2z]

Excellent argumeny for ONOE. Earlier i was not convinced but this has been a very good eye opener. State election freebeism and the subsequent hit to state fiscal finances is also equally an impediment.

[@vishnuradhakrishnan9462]

Yes, private sector people just came to know yesterday that elections are being held in India. Cmon guys 😂😂😂.

That's why democracy didn't work in the most part of the world.
