Modi targets Congress, says MNREGA 'living reminder' of its failure

Targets the Opposition party on black money, corruption issues

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today took pot shots at Congress over its flagship scheme MNREGA besides targetting the party on black money and corruption issues.

"History is a witness, Congress never lost with such a margin...My political sense says never end MNREGA, because MNREGA is a reminder of your (Congress) failure," Modi said while adding that the scheme will continue.

He said the Lok Sabha mandate clearly showed that the farmers didn't approve Congress' land acquisition Bill. "If the farmers had liked it, you would have won," the PM said in Lok Sabha.

Countering charges by the Congress that the NDA government was taking old polices and renaming them, Modi said the issue is finding solutions to the problems and not the project name.

"We are trying to find a solution to the problems we have inherited," he said.

He also targetted the Congress for failing to take action against black money. The Prime Minister said the government will take action against anyone whose name comes up in the black money probe, and this should not be thought of as vindictive politics.
