Union minister Dharmendra Pradhan today 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."
On the criticism on jobless growth by opposition, the Aayog had said, "Hopefully this (payroll data) would also end the debate regarding and criticisms about jobless growth in the economy."
