AGARTALA, Oct 1 (TIWN): The reason behind unpaid MGNREGA mandays to Tripura’s thousands of poor people has now unearthed. The MGNREGA’s fund which was looted by none other than BJP’s direct beneficiaries under party-tag although without contributing a single manday.

This serious allegation has been brought freshly by former Chief Minister Manik Sarkar while addressing in a rally at Udaipur, Gomati District.

Sarkar stated, “Rs 340 wage is nowhere in India, although BJP came in power in this state by adding that lie too with its other fake promises like social pension hikes, 50000 govt jobs which resulted in massive-slashing of beneficiaries and employees. But now finally poor people’s moneys have been looted by BJP activists who worked in the last election for BJP including ‘pristha-pramukhas’ and ‘mandal’ people. This is the situation of the economy here, gripped in corruption”.

“This 18 months Govt is a thief. Rate of MGNREGA mandays is heavily downed from 5 days to 7 days. Moreover, people have not gotten their wages for those 5 to 7 days mandays, whereas BJP activists without any MGNREGA  wages. Nowhere in whole country, such a thief Govt can be found”, said Sarkar adding, “This is the actual of Govt’s failure to clear wages of MGNREGA”.

However, a fresh report says central govt has reportedly released funds now to clear pending wages.
