After kicking poor in stomach, Modi govt stabs them in back: Kharge on MGNREGA scrapping

New Delhi, 27/12: Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Saturday launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing of “stabbing the poor in the back after kicking them in their stomach” by scrapping the “UPA’s visionary programme” MGNREGA.

In his opening remarks at the Congress Working Committee meeting here, he said an entire generation in India that escaped poverty because of the scheme named after Mahatma Gandhi but “without any study or evaluation, without consultation with states with states or parties”, a new law ‘V B-G RAM G’ Act was imposed following the same method used to bring three black farm laws.
