The Uttar Pradesh Congress is launching a 'Save MGNREGA' campaign to protect the rural employment scheme, which it describes as a lifeline for millions. The party has appointed district coordinators to implement the campaign, set to begin in January. UP Congress president Ajay Rai alleged that the BJP government is weakening the scheme and reducing it from a demand-driven employment right to a mere wage distribution program. The campaign aims to mobilize communities and oppose perceived dismantling of MGNREGA.
