The Congress-led UPA Government’s Mahatma Gandhi NREGA policy has given a new hope for the poor people in the villages, said Congress President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi while addressing a Congress rally in Maharashtra’s Konkan region. The policy ensures a minimum of 100 days of jobs to every poor in the villages, informed Sonia Gandhi. The Congress-led Central government got the inspiration for the scheme from Maharashtra, said the Congress leader.
