Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying his government’s praise of the UPA’s flagship scheme MGNREGA is a “shining example” of Mr. Modi’s “political wisdom”.
“After calling NREGA ‘living monument of INC failure’ Govt now hails it as cause of ‘nat pride & celebration’ !Shining eg of Modiji’s pol wisdom,” Mr. Gandhi tweeted.
Mr. Gandhi’s reference was to Mr. Modi’s remarks about the scheme during the budget session in 2015.
“Do you think, I will put an end to the scheme? My political wisdom does not allow me to do it. This is a living monument of your failure to tackle poverty in 60 years. With song and dance and drum beat, I will continue with the scheme,” Mr. Modi had said during the last budget session.
