New Delhi, Oct. 21 -- The Congress on Wednesday attacked the Modi government over alleged "lapses" in its PM-DAKSH initiative for imparting skill training to eligible individuals, saying a government that cannot even effectively implement a scheme has no moral right to remain in power.
Taking a swipe at the PM, the opposition party also said that his government's "expiry date" is near and "jhola uthane ka waqt aa gaya hai".
Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh shared a screenshot of a media report which claimed that "serious lapses" have come to light in the implementation of the 'Pradhan Mantri Dakshata aur Kushalta Sampann Hitgrahi' (PM-DAKSH) scheme, an initiative launched with the objective of imparting skill training to eligible individuals, including those from Scheduled Castes, Other Backward Classes, Economically Backward Classes, Denotified and Nomadic Tribes, and sanitation workers, to make them employable.
In his post in Hindi on X, Ramesh said, "'Naam bade aur darshan chote!' The scheme
bears the PM's name, yet on the ground, the results are -- much like his claims -- a big, fat zero."
