Former minister Chavda criticised the Gujarat BJP administration, calling its machinery ‘rotten’ and saying it has failed to curb the state’s growing unemployment.
Former Gujarat minister Chavda launched a strong attack on the state’s ruling BJP government, alleging that its administrative machinery is ineffective and has contributed to rising unemployment. He described the state’s institutions as "rotten" and "derailed," suggesting that they are unable to generate sufficient job opportunities for the youth.
Chavda’s remarks come amid growing concerns over joblessness in Gujarat, where recent data indicates a slowdown in new employment creation. The former minister urged the government to adopt more proactive measures to stimulate the labour market and address skill gaps.
The BJP leadership in Gujarat has not issued an immediate response, but officials typically emphasize ongoing initiatives aimed at industrial growth and skill development. Observers note that political criticism of this nature often intensifies ahead of upcoming electoral cycles.
Stakeholders, including trade unions and business groups, are watching the debate closely, as the unemployment issue remains a key factor influencing public sentiment in the state.
