Emphasising the UPA Government’s commitment towards the common man Congress General Secretary said, “UPA Government at the Centre is committed to work for the poor, dalits and adivasis. By the MGNREGA policy, the biggest employment generation scheme, poor are assured of a minimum of 100 days jobs in a year with a daily wage of Rs 120. Ask anybody in Andhra Pradesh, Delhi, Haryana, Kerala or Kerala about this scheme. The poorest of the poor will also agree that MGNREGA is the most beneficial scheme of the Central Government. However, UP Chief Minister says that MGNREGA is of no use. While all other states are admitting that MGNREGA is the most beneficial policy Mayawatiji says that the scheme is of no use. I remember in October 2007 Mayawati ji at Lucknow had said that the MGNREGA is not beneficial for the state."
