No, the government should instead focus on guaranteed jobs to ensure a productive nation

The BJP has been focused on economic growth and job creation, as evidenced by their various initiatives like 'Make in India' and 'Skill India.' They believe that providing jobs and improving the economy will help address issues like poverty and hunger. This aligns with their stance on focusing on guaranteed jobs to ensure a productive nation.
