Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh): Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday appealed to people to switch off lights for 9 minutes at 9 pm on Wednesday to express solidarity with the youths and their families who are facing the consequences of unemployment.

"Mutthiyan jab bandh jati hain naujawanon ki, nind ud jaati hai julmi hukmaraon ki" (When the youths get determined, oppressive rulers lose their sleep), he said in a tweet in Hindi.

  • मुट्ठियां जब बंध जाती हैं नौजवानों की
    नींद उड़ जाती है ‘ज़ुल्मी हुक्मरानों’ की

    आइए युवाओं व उनके परिवार की बेरोज़गारी-बेकारी के इस अंधेरे में हम आज रात 9 बजे, 9 मिनट के लिए बत्तियां बुझाकर क्रांति की मशाल जलाएं, उनकी आवाज़ में आवाज़ मिलाएं!#9Baje9Minute#9बजे9मिनट#NoMoreBJP

Samajwadi Party leader Anurag Bhadauria said that talented and educated youths holding degrees are "sitting jobless" and the government is not doing anything for them.

"What's the fault of youths? It's the responsibility of the government to provide them with employment. We will be switching off lights in the night as a mark of our protest and to highlight the woes of the jobless youths," he added.
