Shimla, May 5 (IANS): The unemployment scene in Himachal Pradesh has shown an improvement as per a World Bank report, Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh clarified on Tuesday, and said a cabinet minister's outcry on the issue was "off the mark".
Transport Minister G.S. Bali had last week announced he would launch a march in June to raise the issue of unemployed youth.
"I have not met Bali after he spoke to the media on this issue. We are meeting tomorrow (Wednesday) in the cabinet meeting," the chief minister told reporters.
"Bali is highly emotional. When he gets hurt, his reaction is to hurt others. But it is a sensitive matter he should have checked the facts. His allegations on unemployment in two years of the Congress rule is off the mark," he added.
Asked if Bali's outburst had embarrassed the government, Virbhadra Singh said: "One swallow does not make a summer. There is no crisis. The government is stable."
