The Youth Congress, the junior wing of the Indian National Congress, has launched a new campaign titled ‘Meri Degree Ka Kya’ aimed at highlighting the backlog of government job vacancies. According to party statements, 50 lakh positions across ministries and departments are still open and have caused frustration among job seekers.
The party has set a one‑year deadline for the central government to fill these roles and has threatened a protest outside the Prime Minister’s residence if the deadline is not met. The move is part of a broader push by opposition parties to pressure the ruling government on employment issues.
The campaign came to the fore on the day of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday, signalling the opposition’s intent to use the occasion to draw attention to the unemployment crisis among graduates and to hold the administration accountable for stalled recruitment processes.
