Update: 2018-02-05 15:48 IST

 College students in Bengaluru launched a protest on Sunday against Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remarks on employment in the country further indicating that selling pakodas is also a form of employment and can be seen in the light of ‘job creation’.

The Prime Minister is set to kick-off a rally in Bengaluru shortly.

Donning convocation robes, the students sold ‘pakodas’ to the public close to the Mehkri Circle in Bengaluru. 

Hitting out at PM Modi, BJP chief Amit Shah and the state party chief Yeddyurappa, they labelled the fried dumplings ‘Modi Pakodas’, ‘Amit Shah Pakoda’ and ‘Dr Yeddy Pakodas’.

The Prime Minister had spoken about employment in the country in an interview to a news channel in January where he said even an individual selling pakodas at a road-side stall earns Rs 200 per day and is ’employed’.
