UP Elections 2017: Where Are the Jobs, Asks Industrial Hub Kanpur | Read

But in huge swathes of the state, including Kanpur, which voted that day, had a rather different interpretation of the word: Kaam, meaning jobs, something thousands of graduates in this industrial hub have been awaiting for years. It is these young voters - educated, qualified, toting laptops and cellphones but still unemployed - who are expected to be the biggest game changer in this election.
