Rahul Gandhi's attack came as part of a continued onslaught on the Modi government over the alleged corruption and favouritism in the Rafale fighter jet deal.
Congress president Rahul Gandhi Wednesday termed the government's flagship Skill India campaign "S-Kill India" and alleged Rs 30,000 crore was "stolen" from HAL in the Rafale deal and given to a man with "no skills" to make an aircraft.
He also said the country's skilled youth are faced with the highest unemployment rate in the last 20 years.
His attack came as part of a continued onslaught on the Modi government over the alleged corruption and favouritism in the Rafale fighter jet deal.
"PM'S-KILL India Program," Gandhi tweeted, taking a dig at the government's flagship Skill India campaign.
"Rs 30,000 crore stolen from Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and given to a man with no SKILLS in making aircraft.
"Meanwhile, millions of SKILLED youngsters face the highest unemployment rate in twenty years," he said on Twitter.
He attached a media report quoting a study that the rate of unemployment in India is the highest in the last 20 years. Gandhi had said Tuesday that more facts on the Rafale fighter deal will be out soon, while telling the youth there that they lost jobs as a related contract went to the Reliance Group rather than the state-run Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) which has a unit in New Delji.
Earlier on Tuesday, Gandhi’s emotional appeal to the families and officers of the Indian Air Force had just one target - PM Modi.
‘To every Air Force officer and Jawan who has served India. To the family of every martyred Indian fighter pilot. To every person who ever worked for HAL. We hear your pain. We understand how you feel. We will bring to justice all those who dishonoured and stole from you,’ Gandhi said on Twitter.
Notice how he didn’t mention Rafale in the appeal. However, it is clear that this emotional tweet is part of the tirade against ruling BJP over Rafale controversy.
