G-RAM-G reforms expose Cong record on MGNREGA: Kumaraswamy-Vijayendra

Bengaluru, Jan 10 (UNI) In a political duel heavy with history and accusation, Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel HD Kumaraswamy on Saturday accused the Congress of manufacturing a convenient falsehood around the G-RAM-G (Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar and Aajeevika Mission – Rural) scheme and invited its Karnataka leadership to a debateon the issue.
Speaking at a joint press conference with Leader of the Opposition R Ashok and BJP state president Vijayendra Yediyurappa, Kumaraswamy said the Congress was struggling to come to terms with a political climate in which "old narratives no longer travelled unquestioned".
The scheme, he argued, was being wilfully misrepresented despite being conceived under Prime Minister Narendra Modi as an attempt to repair, not dismantle, rural employment mechanisms.
