वित्त मंत्री जी,

मेरे सवालों से मत डरिए । मैं ये सवाल देश के युवाओं की ओर से पूछ रहा हूं, जिन्हें जवाब देना आपकी ज़िम्मेदारी है।

देश के युवाओं को रोज़गार की ज़रूरत है और आपकी सरकार उन्हें रोज़गार देने में बुरी तरह नाकाम साबित हुई है ।#JawabDoMantriJi pic.twitter.com/qe4ikhPV0j

"The youth of the country want employment and your government has failed miserably to provide them the same," he said.
