Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said on Congress’s MGNREGA Bachao Sangram, “…Provisions have been made in this, priorities have been fixed. SC, ST, women, disabled and poor are our priorities and it is our commitment to provide employment to them… I want to say that more than 85% of ours are small farmers but when the time of harvesting or sowing comes, they also need support, so by securing 125 days of work, if at the time of farming, work is assured, if the laborers are Brother, what is the objection if the farmers work together? Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge, such lies do not suit you, this is a flouting of Bapu’s truth… I would again request them to close their shop of lies and not spread rumours… Where was Rahul Gandhi when this was being debated?”
