PM single-handedly destroyed MGNREGA, carried out devastating attack on states: Rahul Gandhi

New Delhi, Dec 27: Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Saturday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of “single-handedly destroying” MGNREGA without consulting his Cabinet or the states and without studying the matter, terming it an attack on the democratic structure that will ruin the rural economy.

Addressing a press conference after the crucial CWC meeting, he targeted the BJP-led NDA government over the VB-G RAM G Act, alleging that the PM carried out a devastating attack on states and the poor, “much like demonetisation”.

He said the Congress has vowed that it would resist the government’s action and expressed confidence that the entire opposition would be aligned with it.
