Union minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Friday criticised the pervious Congress-led governments for unemployment and lack of skills among the country’s youth, saying that those whose three generations were in power are now asking “where are the jobs Modi ji“. “All those whose three generations remained parliamentarians have a resentment in the country that youth have not got employment,” he said at the National Conference of State Ministers on Skill Development and Entrepreneurship here.
Pradhan, who is skills development and entrepreneurship minister, said: “Their party remained in power for 7 decades. They are questioning our 48 months service. They are asking where are the jobs Modi ji. Their family was in power for three generations including grandfather, grandmother and father. Mother and son ran father’s show.”
He said job creation and skills development is not a subject for levelling allegations but responsibility. Opposition parties including the Congress have been alleging that there is a jobless growth in the country. Government think tank NITI Aayog had said on Thursday that as many as 35.3 lakh new payrolls registered (jobs created) during the six month period till February this year.
