Senior Congress leader Rajeev Shukla said the Modi government had inherited 23 welfare schemes which were at various stages of implementation, renamed and presented them as its own.
He also said Aadhaar and rural job scheme MNREGA were two initiatives, which were earlier criticised strongly by the BJP, but were now being taken forward as its own.
"Except for the note ban, the Modi government has not conceived and come out with any original public welfare scheme. They inherited 23 schemes on a platter which were already at various stages of implementation, but they have completely failed," he told reporters.
Shukla asked if the UPA government's schemes were "wrong", why did the present NDA regime take over all of them.
