This led us to a longer version of this video uploaded on Rahul Gandhi&#8217;s YouTube channel on April 20. According to the title, this video is from the party\u2019s 2024 Lok Sabha elections campaign in Bhagalpur, Bihar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the 10:58 mark of this video, the Congress leader states, &#8220;Our second scheme is called &#8216;Guaranteed First Job.&#8217; Now let me explain what &#8216;Guaranteed First Job&#8217; means. It means we are going to give all the graduates and diploma holders of India the right to entrepreneurship. Applaud a little more, and I&#8217;ll explain it to you. The right to entrepreneurship means that every youth of India will be given the right to the first job by our next government. Just as we gave the right to employment in MGNREGA, similarly, we will give the graduates the right to their first job. The right to the first job means that all the graduates of India and diploma holders will get a one-year entrepreneurship opportunity for a sum of Rs. 1 lakh per year, or Rs. 8,500 per month, into their bank accounts. They will be trained, and if they perform well in the first year, they will be given a permanent job. These jobs related to entrepreneurship will be in the private sector, in public sector units, as well as in the government. So millions of youths will be trained, and India will get a trained workforce. And the youth who are wandering on the streets today, browsing Instagram and Facebook, will receive Rs. 1 lakh annually, Rs. 8,500 per month, and a promise from our government.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The last sentence of the above-mentioned part of Gandhi&#8217;s speech was shared without context, giving the false impression that Rahul Gandhi promised to deposit Rs. 1 lakh annually or Rs. 8,500 monthly into the bank accounts of youths sitting idle and browsing Facebook and Instagram.
