Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has criticised the Indian government's handling of the MGNREGA scheme under PM Modi, accusing over 7 crore worker job cards being deleted, thus cutting households off from MGNREGA work, and a 10-year low budget allocation, leading to artificially suppressed demand for work. Kharge also highlighted the inadequacy of daily wages paid under the scheme and called for a national minimum wage of Rs 400 per day.
