'Gadkari's remark an endorsement of Cong claim on lack of

Latching onto Union minister Nitin Gadkari's "where are the jobs" remark over Maratha quota stir, the Congress today said the comment is an "endorsement" of its claim that the Modi government had "failed" in creating jobs.

Maharashtra Congress president Ashok Chavan also asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi where were the jobs the latter had promised to in the run-up to the 2014 Lok Sabha polls.

"What we have been saying from last 4 years on the failure of Modi Govt in Job creation, is now being endorsed by Mr Nitin Gadkari, Modiji nation wants to know #WhereAreTheJobs which you promised," Chavan said on Twitter.

Gadkari, while responding to reporters' questions in Aurangabad on Saturday, on the ongoing agitation by Marathas for reservation and similar demands by other communities in Maharashtra, had said, "Let's us assume the reservation is given. But there are no jobs."
Congress president Rahul Gandhi latched onto the remark made by the senior BJP leader today and said, "Excellent question Gadkari Ji. Every Indian is asking the same question."
