In a video that has gone viral, just in time of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, a daily wage employee stunned a reporter and fellow audience with his impeccable English.
“I want to work. I want to tell Modi to allow me to work,” says the daily wage labourer, who is a graduate from Bhagalpur University in Bihar.
Talking about how the Narendra Modi government has not done enough to create jobs, he says that it is difficult to even find work everyday.
“I am not able to find daily work. People are sleeping without food. What is the Modi government doing to create jobs?” he says.
"Rozgari, Indira Gandhi ke time pe badiya thi, abhi Modi ke time pe bhi badiya hai. Location, work and position, everything was good but now it is not great," he goes on to say.
However, he was quick to add that Modi was the “best in modern times, but Indira was the best in ancient times.”
“Where will I get food, without work,” he asks.
