Wayanad (Kerala), July 2 (ANI): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on July 02 criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for calling the MGNREGA scheme a ‘living monument of the failures of the UPA government.’ Rahul said PM Modi had not understood the depth of MGNREGA. “I was shocked in Lok Sabha when I heard the PM speak against MGNREGA. He called it a living monument of the failures of the UPA. He called it a drain on the exchequer. It made me realise that the PM actually had not understood the depth of MGNREGA,” said the leader, while addressing the MGNREGA workers in Kerala. “He had not understood that the MGNREGA has forever transformed the Indian labour market. He had not understood that MGNREGA was, for millions and millions of Indian people, the last resort and huge protection,” he added.
