The Narendra Modi government had failed to fulfil its promise to provide 2 crore jobs every year to the youth, Deputy Chief Minister Mukesh Agnihoptri said today. Addressing a Youth Congress meeting at Ghaluwal village in Haroli Assembly segment, he said the Congress government in the state was working towards giving priority to the youth from Himachal in industries set up within the state.
