When is Modi govt going to pay Karnataka's MGNREGS workers their wages, asks Congress

New Indian Express  

Elaborating on what he said were "jumla details", Ramesh said the Bagalkote-Kudachi line of the South-Western Railway has now been delayed by more than eight years. Despite the Karnataka government providing the land for the project free of cost, and contributing 50 per cent of the construction cost, the Modi government has "failed" to deliver on this project, he said. He further said that in the last year's Union Budget, the Modi government had proudly announced a 5,300 crore grant for the Upper Bhadra Project but more than a year later, state Revenue Minister Krishna Byre Gowda has revealed that not a "single paisa" of this grant has been released. However, Modi Sarkar has not only failed to approve the extension of the scheme, it has also failed to release Rs.1600 crore towards the payment of wages to those working under MGNREGS," Ramesh said. When is the Modi government going to pay Karnataka's MGNREGS workers their wages, Ramesh asked.
