Revised MGNREGS wage rates below Rs 400 a day as promised by Congress: Rahul

New Indian Express  

NEW DELHI: The Congress slammed the Narendra Modi government on Thursday after it notified the revised MGNREGS wages for 2024-25, saying the daily wage rates in all states are well below the Rs 400 a day promised by the opposition party under its "Shramik NYAY" guarantees. Leaving aside the issue of whether this violates the spirit of the Model Code of Conduct in view of the forthcoming elections, the announced daily wage rates in ALL states are well below the Rs 400 a day, which is part of the 'Shramik NYAY' guarantees of the Indian National Congress," he said. The Congress's "Shramik NYAY" announcement guarantees a nationwide minimum wage of Rs 400 per day to put an end to wage stagnation. As part of the "Shramik NYAY" guarantees, the Congress has also promised a comprehensive review of the Modi government's labour codes and suitable amendments to strengthen labour rights.
