Raise wage under MGNREGA to Rs 400: Sonia slams BJP's handling of scheme
The Daily Guardian
|March 19, 2025
Congress leader and former Party President Sonia Gandhi on Tuesday spoke in the Rajya Sabha and raised the issue of the allocation for Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) and said that it had remained "stagnant" in the Union Budget 2025.
She further alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party-led union government has "systematically undermined" the scheme.
The Congress leader demanded that the union government raise the minimum wage for people in the scheme to Rs 400 per day.
"It is deeply concerning that the present BJP government has systematically undermined this scheme. The Budget allocation remains stagnant at Rs 86,000 crores," the Congress leader said during her address.
She further underlined the multiple challenges the scheme is facing, including Aadhaar-based payments, delay in disbursing wages and also inadequate payments.
