Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge’s taunt on PM Modi, ‘angry uncle’ and cornered the government on the issue of paper leak.


These days, sharp arrows of statements and political war of words are at their peak in the corridors of Indian politics, where Congress Party National President Mallikarjun Kharge has made the strongest and sharpest attack till date on the Narendra Modi government at the Centre. Mallikarjun Kharge has taken on Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding the future of the country’s youth, the paper leak cases of competitive exams continuously coming up across the country and the serious crisis of increasing unemployment. During his sharp attack, Kharge made a very unique and spicy political comment and mentioned the analogy of ‘angry uncle’, after which a new upheaval has come in the country’s politics. This statement is being echoed from social media to political analysts and this issue remains at the top of the headlines in the mainstream news of the country, due to which the conflict between the ruling party and the opposition has deepened.

In today’s time, the biggest and most serious problem that the Indian youth is facing is nothing but unemployment which has reached record levels in the country and famine of employment opportunities. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, in his aggressive statement, has directly asked the question to the Modi government as to why the report card of the government has proved to be completely zero in terms of providing permanent jobs to crores of youth of the country in the last decade of its tenure. Deliberately not filling lakhs of vacant posts in government departments, promotion of contract based jobs and playing with the bright future of the youth have forced the entire young generation of the country to take to the streets. From rural areas to urban metros, educated youth are forced to compete for the jobs of peons and clerks, but they are getting nothing from the government and administration except empty assurances and statements, due to which the deep dissatisfaction within the country has now come to the fore.

Paper leaks of competitive examinations, which have become the biggest stigma for the Indian justice system and education system, and the network of cheating mafias have ruined years of hard work of crores of hardworking students of the country in a few minutes. Mallikarjun Kharge, while cornering Prime Minister Narendra Modi on this serious issue, said that every week or month some such case comes to light from some corner of the country where the question paper gets leaked on social media even before the commencement of the examination. Even UPSC, SSC, NEET, Railways and Public Service Commission examinations of various states have not remained untouched by this maze of rigging, which proves that the government machinery has completely failed to crack down on these mafias. Those poor and middle class families, who send their children to big cities for coaching and studies by saving every single penny of their hard-earned money, when they see the examinations being canceled again and again due to paper leaks, they completely lose faith in the governance system.

When Mallikarjun Kharge, known for his sharp style of speech and statements, used the ‘angry uncle’ style while taunting the functioning of the Central Government and the Prime Minister, it created a new excitement and topic of discussion in the political environment. Through this sarcasm, the Congress President has tried to show how the people sitting at the top of power, instead of listening to criticism and accepting the actual ground realities of the country, are always engrossed in their own tunes and are not ready to listen to anyone. Kharge’s statement has also started receiving sharp reactions from the BJP and NDA camp, in which the leaders of the ruling party say that the opposition no longer has any concrete issue left, hence they are unsuccessfully trying to divert the country’s attention through personal comments and childish analogies. This political conflict is likely to intensify further in the coming days, because the youth of the country are now in the mood to demand direct accounts from the governments on the employment and education front.
