TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Congress chief Rahul Gandhi has said the minimum income guarantee scheme the party has envisaged will put the country’s economy back on track after it was allegedly hurt by the Centre’s noteban and GST moves.
Addressing a poll rally here in Ahmednagar district, Gandhi hit out at the Narendra Modi government over what he called the “highest” unemployment rate in the country in 45 years, particularly in the backdrop of the ruling BJP’s 2014 pre-poll promise of providing two crore jobs a year.
He assured that the 22 lakh vacant posts in government services will be filled within a year if his party is voted to power in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections.
Gandhi said under the minimum income guarantee scheme, which the Congress has named as ‘NYAY’, Rs 72,000 per annum (or Rs 3.60 lakh in five years) would be disbursed to each of the country’s poor, 25 crore in total (or 5 crore families).
