Swaraj India president Yogendra Yadav said on Saturday that unemployment would be the biggest poll issue in the Haryana assembly election.
Referring to a report by the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) for the period of May-August, Yadav said the number of unemployed in the state had crossed 20 lakh.
"This time, the election be prevented from becoming issue-less. Instead of bickering and horse-trading, there should be a meaningful debate on the biggest problem of the state -- unemployment," Yadav told reporters here.
Unemployment is the biggest election issue in Haryana, he said. "Unemployment in Haryana has taken shape of an epidemic."
