Why is Hashtag National Unemployment Day Trending on Modi's Birthday?

While the whole country is celebrating the 72nd birthday of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a certain category of netizens is celebrating National Unemployment Day on Twitter.

They are back with the #राष्ट्रीय_बेरोजगार_दिवस to highlight the failure of the present government in providing employment to India's youth.

But, why today?

Why is #NationalUnemploymentDay Trending Today?

Three years ago, the Youth Congress unit marked this day as Berojgar Diwas to encircle the Modi Government on the employment issue. And for this, they have chosen the occasion of PM Modi's birthday.

They hold discussions and protest on this day through campaigns and protests on social media platforms. Also, their objective is to post more than a crore of tweets on Twitter.
