Congress leader Supriya Shrinate on Thursday slammed the Manohar Lal Khattar-led BJP government in Haryana for the "high" unemployment in the state.
Shrinate, who was flanked by Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera, also hit out at the Narendra Modi government, blaming it for the collapse of the auto, textile and leather industries in the country.
"These industries used to flourish under the Congress-led UPA government earlier, but are in shambles now because of the BJP regime's wrong economic policies," she told reporters here.
Shrinate, who is also a national spokesperson of the Congress, said the Modi government's claim of achieving a five trillion dollar economy over the next few years is just a pipedream and added that GDP has to grow at around 10 per cent per year to achieve this.
Hitting out at the Khattar government over unemployment, she said, "At 28.5 per cent, Haryana has the highest unemployment rate in the country."
