#WhereAreTheJobs: To Gadkari's question, RaGa says we're wondering same

What's the story

On Monday, Congress President Rahul Gandhi took a swipe at Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari over his 'where are the jobs comment' and wrote on Twitter that everyone in India was asking the same question.

On Saturday, speaking on Maratha agitation, Gadkari told reporters that reservation didn't matter, as there weren't any jobs.

Gandhi saw an opportunity in Gadkari's statement and didn't let it pass.

Statement

Here's what Gadkari had said

"Even if reservation is given, there are no jobs. Jobs in banks have shrunk because of information technology. Government recruitment is frozen," Gadkari said.

Taking a jibe at the use of 'backward' tag, Gadkari said, "Brahmins in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh are strong, and (they) dominate politics too. But even they say they are backward."

However, Gadkari added his comment shouldn't be politicized.
