Modi
rose to power by promising development for all, but
his policies have fallen short in meeting any of the
related targets, especially with respect to employment
and livelihoods. A minor increase in farm income was
met by the lowest-yet wage increase under MGNREGA. Belying
the promises of the Skill India programme, Quarterly
Employment Surveys show even greater joblessness. Resource
allocation to health and education has seen negligible
growth in the past three years. And the government narrative
has shifted from development to moral policing.
