Poor people should get fair wages: Rahul Gandhi said that the concept of MNREGA during our three terms in government was to give responsibility to the panchayats. They were to be given financial responsibility. The other objective at that time was to establish a minimum wage for the poor people of India, ensuring that no one received less than that amount. Protection for the poor removed: The Congress MP said that Narendra Modi wants to concentrate power. He wants to take power into his own hands and give it to the bureaucracy. He wants to starve the poor. By changing the name of MNREGA, he has insulted Gandhiji. He has removed the protection for the poor.
Giving all the money to Adani and Ambani: The foundation of our third-term government’s vision has been undermined. The Congress party is fighting across the country to save MNREGA. We are working to protect those who work for wages. Narendra Modi wants all the country’s wealth to go to Adani and Ambani. We are protecting the people, while Narendra Modi is busy giving the country’s money to Adani and Ambani.
