| Congress today accused the NDA government of "re-branding" or changing nomenclature of pro-people and development-oriented schemes of the previous UPA government to take credit.
Citing the case of MNREGA, Congress leader and former Union minister Ghulam Nabi Azad said the BJP leadership had initially criticised it to malign the UPA government but the Modi government had to make a U-turn and was forced to celebrate its 10 years of completion because of the remarkable success and achievements of this scheme and its popularity amongst the rural poor.
"Congress always launched pro-people and development- oriented schemes in the country and the BJP-led NDA government is only re-branding those schemes or changing nomenclature to take credit," said Mr Azad, Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha.
Referring to MNREGA scheme launched by the UPA government, he said it is unique in the world and has been recognized by the World Bank as the biggest job source on the globe.
Addressing a party rally in Jammu to celebrate 10 years of the launch of MNREGA, he said the scheme was aimed at providing right to job to the rural poor and its success lies in the fact that around 13 crore households in the country covering a population of around 65 crore had availed of the benefit when the UPA-II relinquished its office in 2014
