Congress president Rahul Gandhi today bracketed Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump with the "reactionary leaders" of the world and said the unemployed angry youth had voted them to power.

Gandhi also said the BJP and RSS were able to function because the Indian youth are angry as the system was unable to give them jobs.

"The Indian system is unable to give them jobs basically because we are struggling to compete against China. It is pretty much impossible for the western world to compete with the Chinese on blue collar jobs," he said at a function here.

This, he said, meant that every western nation has a couple of millions of people who they cannot employ and it was they who voted for Trump, "for these reactionary leaders... these are the people who voted for Mr Modi."
Gandhi said until India solved the employment problem and was able to compete effectively with the Chinese, "you will have this anger in society."
