Centre is attempting to threaten MGNRES: MLC Kavitha

Hyderabad: BRS MLC K Kavitha stated that the BJP Government at the centre was attempting to threaten Mahatma Gandhi’s National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme.

Addressing a conference with the agents of the NREGS Association at her house in Hyderabad on Thursday, MLC Kavitha mentioned that the significant reduction in the allotment of funds for the work assurance plan in the budget plan provided on Wednesday was evidence of this.

“In the budget announced on Wednesday, the Center has allocated only Rs 60,000 crore for NREGS. This is the lowest allocation for MGNREGS in the budget in the last five years. In 2020-21, an amount of Rs. 1,10,000 crores was allocated followed by Rs. 98,000 Cr in 2021-22 and Rs. 89,400 Cr in 2022-23,” Kavitha stated while including that the BJP Government assigned just Rs 60,000 crores in a phased fashion for the work assurance plan.

Kavitha stated that the Centre must’ve assigned a minimum ofRs 2.72 lakh crore for the NREGS. She stated that the BJP government did not produce any kind of brand-new job opportunity in the backwoods in the last 9 years and also is not applying the existing work programs either. While the State Government is attempting to give job opportunity to individuals as long as feasible, the main government is not accepting the states, she stated.
