New Delhi Sep 26 (IANS) Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi s Skill India programme by linking it with the Rafale deal saying that the offset contract was given to a private company with no skills of making aircraft while millions of skilled youths face unemployment.
"PM S Kill India Programme. Rs 30 000 crore stolen from HAL and given to a man with no skills in making aircraft.
