“We found that no jobs are available in the villages. So the first thing we did was to implement MGNREGA to guarantee jobs for all. By this biggest employment generation scheme poor are assured of jobs if they intend to work. Through MNREGA poor are assured of a minimum of 100 days jobs in a year and a daily wage of Rs 120. We, in fact, brought jobs into the remote villages using this policy,” said Rahul Gandhi on UPA’s Mahatma Gandhi NREGA policy.
Taking a swipe at Mayawati Rahul Gandhi said, “while all other states are acknowledging that MGNREGA is the most useful policy UP, your CM says the scheme is of no use. She also said this during a public function on October 9, 2007. She along with opposition raised questions on how the Central Government will raise funds for the scheme.”
