JAIPUR: 

HIGHLIGHTS

  1. Congress announced minimum income guarantee programme ahead of polls
  2. Up to Rs. 72,000 annually will be given to poorest 5 crore families each
  3. Congress consulted top economists, will eliminate poverty: Rahul Gandhi
 
 

Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said that former Reserve Bank of India governor Raghuram Rajan was among top economists that the party consulted to draft its minimum income guarantee scheme Nyuntam Aay Yojana or NYAY. Announced yesterday, the scheme assures up to Rs. 72,000 a year or Rs.6,000 a month to 20 per cent of India's poorest families if the Congress is voted back to power in the Lok Sabha elections next month.

Any family earning less than Rs. 12,000 a month will receive the difference, up to Rs. 6,000, in its bank account under the plan. Rahul Gandhi, facing a tough opponent in Prime Minister Narendra Modi, had called the proposal a "final assault on poverty" and said it would benefit 25 crore people.

On Tuesday, addressing a series of rallies in Rajasthan, Mr Gandhi said the scheme was not a "free gift" to the poor but "justice". "Dhamaka hai ye...bomb fatega (It''s a big bang...will set off a bomb). This is a Congress's surgical strike on poverty. They (the BJP) worked to eliminate the poor, we will eliminate poverty," he said.

"We consulted all big economists, without telling anyone without giving any speech. We were engaged in this work for six months. Take the list of all big economists of the world, we consulted them (including) Raghuram Rajan," Mr Gandhi added at an event in Jaipur.
