💨 Abstract

The Congress criticized the government for keeping the budget for the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) stagnant, claiming it shows disregard for rural livelihoods. The MGNREGS budget was maintained at Rs 86,000 crore, resulting in a decline in real allocations due to inflation.
