NEW DELHI: Claiming that Nyuntam Aay Yojana (NYAY), proposed by the Congress party in its election manifesto, will restart the country’s economic engine, former Prime Minister and veteran Congress leader Manmohan Singh on Saturday expressed confidence that NYAY has the potential to catapult India into the club of ‘poverty free’ nations in the world.
”Just as we brought in a new paradigm for India’s development with the de-licensing regime in 1991, a rights based approach to governance including the Right to Work under MGNREGA, I am confident a Congress party led Government in 2019 will implement NYAY successfully and usher in a new model for social justice and prudent economics. It is my sincere belief that NYAY has the potential to catapult India into the club of ‘poverty free’ nations in the world and I hope to be able to live to see our nation achieve this historic milestone, ”Dr Singh said in a statement.
