NREGA was people’s concept: Rahul Gandhi

Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi while speaking at an election rally at Pratapgarh in Uttar Pradesh said that Congress always introduce policies after going to the people and realizing their pain.

“When we came to you and enquired about your difficulties, you told us that there are no jobs available in villages. That is why the Centre introduced the Mahatma Gandhi NREGA scheme. Every poor is guaranteed with hundred days of job at a daily wage of Rs. 120,” said Rahul Gandhi.

“But your Chief Minister Mayawati Ji says that this is a drama of Congress. Thousands of crores of rupees were sent to U.P under this scheme, but she calls it a drama. Mulayam Singh Ji also did not implement MNREGA when he was in power. But he now promises unemployment allowance. There would have been no need to give unemployment allowance, had he properly implemented this employment guarantee scheme,” said Rahul Gandhi.

“When we again come to you, the poor farmers told us that the doors of the banks are open only for the rich people. They also informed us about the huge burden of debts. The Central Government, therefore, made a policy for waiving off loan worth Rs. 60000 crores for them and also opened the doors of the banks,” informed the Congress General Secretary.
