Hyderabad, Aug.2 (Hydnow): Finance Minister T Harish Rao alleged that the Union government was hatching a conspiracy to abolish the MGNREGA scheme and was trying to leave the livelihood of the laborers working under the scheme in the lurch.
Minister Harish Rao on Tuesday wrote a letter to Union Minister Kishan Reddy, saying that the Centre is confining the workers to only 20 works and is deliberately pending the workers’ wages worth about Rs 10,000 crore belonging to Telangana State.
