Don't chase jobs, drive e-rickshaw: UP Deputy CM
Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak made controversial remarks urging young individuals to prioritize driving e-rickshaws over conventional jobs. During the launch of Bharat Taxi in Lucknow on September 23, Pathak emphasized the benefits of self-employment, suggesting that drivers could spend their free time with family.
His comments, however, have faced criticism from opposition parties and netizens, who argue that Pathak is discouraging young people from pursuing traditional employment. Pathak described the pursuit of conventional jobs as a source of unhappiness and emphasized the flexibility of working for e-rickshaws. The remarks have sparked a debate about employment opportunities and expectations for young job seekers in the state.
