New Delhi: Hitting out at Congress for “failing” to address the unemployment issue during its decades in power, Union Jal Shakti Minister C R Patil on Thursday claimed that the initiatives taken by the BJP-led NDA government has reduced brain drain of the youth.
Addressing a press conference, Patil said now even those who went abroad are returning and contributing to the nation’s progress.
Responding to a question, the Union minister alleged that the challenges faced by the nation today are a direct result of the Congress’ inability to deliver during its 70-year tenure.
Patil pointed to significant advancements under the Modi administration, citing programs such as the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana and Start-up India as key drivers of job creation and economic participation among India’s youth. He announced future skilling initiatives targeting 20 lakh youth through collaborative efforts with industry and states.
