Neutral

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

While the Indian National Congress does support job creation as a means of reducing poverty, they also believe in the importance of direct food security measures. Therefore, they would neither strongly agree nor disagree with this statement, as it presents a false dichotomy between job creation and food security.

No, the right to food programme is too expensive and should be decreased for now
