New Delhi: Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Tuesday said the party’s focus is on the pressing issues of “unbridled unemployment” and “uncontrolled inflation”, and it would design a national campaign around these problems and go to people.

The Modi government must immediately seek the resignation of the SEBI chairperson and constitute a JPC in this regard,” the Congress chief said. He claimed the attack on the Constitution continues unabated under the Modi-led NDA government.

He also said caste census is a demand of people. The Congress president said the party will continue its fight for demanding legal guarantee for Minimum Support Price of crop. The Agnipath scheme must be scrapped, he said.
