Rahul Gandhi hails Nitin Gadkari

New Delhi, Aug 06: Union minister Nitin Gadkari was praised by Congress president Rahul Gandhi in a tweet on Monday.

The tweet was posted with a news report that quoted Mr Gadkari as saying, to questions on the Maratha agitation for job quota: "Where are the jobs?"

Rahul Gandhi tweeted: "Excellent question, Gadkariji".

The Congress party also put out a tweet with the same hashtag, #WhereAreTheJobs?

Gandhi's remarks came a day after Gadkari on Sunday told reporters in Maharashtra that reservation would not guarantee employment as jobs were shrinking.

"Let us assume the reservation is given. But there are no jobs. Because in banks, the jobs have shrunk because of IT. The government recruitment is frozen. Where are the jobs?" Gadkari asked.

He also said that the problem with the quota is that "backwardness is becoming a political interest"
