Every citizen of India has the right to live and work anywhere in the country. Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath’s argument that the youth of his State have been deprived of jobs because of migrants from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh is an unfortunate one (“Furore over Kamal Nath remarks”, Dec. 19). Mr. Nath himself was born in U.P., studied in Dehradun and West Bengal, and is now Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh. If State governments make an effort to improve opportunities in their respective States, why would the youth go elsewhere?
