Cong accuses govt of 'chronically underfunding' MGNREGA plans
September 06, 2025
|The Morning Standard
THE Congress on Friday accused the Modi government of "chronically underfunding" the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), stating that the move has made a "mockery" of the scheme's demanddriven character.
Reiterating its demand for a significant budgetary enhancement, the party also pressed for fixing the daily wage under MGNREGA at a minimum of ₹400, arguing such a step was essential to kickstart "real income growth" in rural India.
Alleging inadequate allocation, a decline in employment and delays in wages plaguing the scheme, Congress general secretary in-charge of communications Jairam Ramesh said Friday marked the 20th anniversary of the enactment of MGNREGA law, but uncertainty looms large on its future.
