Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Monday announced that Rs
72,000 per year would be deposited in the accounts of poor families under the
Nyuntam Aay Yojana (NYAY) scheme if they came to power in the 2019 Lok Sabha
polls.
He explained the methodology behind the scheme saying the
government would give a 'top-up' to the families. If a family earned Rs 6,000
per month, the government would give Rs 6,000 to help the family reach the
minimum income mark of Rs 12,000. If the family earned Rs 7,000, the government
would top-up Rs 5,000 to make it Rs 12,000.
A day later, the Congress has today clarified that's not the
case. Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala sought to clear the
confusion that emerged from the party president's announcement. Surjewala said
that it was not a top-up scheme and that all 20% families would get Rs 72,000 a
year. "There was some confusion yesterday.
This is not a top-up scheme. All 20 per cent families will
get Rs 72,000 a year. I repeat, this is not a top-up scheme," Surjewala
said at a press conference at the Congress headquarters in New Delhi.
Surjewala also added that the minimum guarantee scheme is
women-centric and that the money will be directly credited to the bank accounts
of the women of the households. "The Congress party will get this amount
credited to the bank accounts of the women of beneficiary families," he
said.
Is this a new formula of congress to win the election, or is
this the real good scheme for poor people. Let’s see who comes in power this
time.
