I think the best approach would be to encourage unskilled people to get trained and become electrician, mason, carpenter etc. There is a serious shortage of skilled manpower. Let the skills be imparted by private players and govt subsidize the cost of it once individual proves sufficient level of skill. Other help could be provided by free information portals regarding jobs availability. But all these will not fetch a single vote, and therefore nothing will happen. NREGS will continue as NRCGS.

“I am disgusted with you, sir. Please quit.” .. lol
I wish.

BTW, I think Congress is not going away easily. We may have to endure another term of Congress or UPA in some form. Here’s why..

Bihar will give more seats to Lalu and so will Jharkhand.
Maharashtra Congress wins by default because of States caste chemistry. (Dalit+Muslim+Patils)
Uttar Pradesh, will move towards Mulayam who will ultimately support Congress.

BJP faces anti-incumbency in Punjab,MP,Chattisgarh,Rajasthan,Uttarkhand and by the time elections come in Karnataka too. Gujarat will see BJP hanging on to 12 seats thanks only to Modi.

Here’s how the situation is most likely to emerge.

BJP and Congress will both loose about 10 to 20 seats. Which means “third front” will emerge stronger. That also means a third front govt supported by Congress.

It would be either Mulayam,Lalu or Karat as PM. Sorry for giving a peak into forth coming nightmare, but this is increasingly likely scenario.
