The Communist Party of India (Marxist)-led government in Kerala is denying jobs to Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) labourers for not attending its party programmes, said former union minister Prakash Javadekar on Wednesday.
The senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader lashed out at CPI(M), alleging that it was threatening the laborers that their jobs would be taken away if they did not attend the party’s rallies.
“The CPI(M) in Kerala is threatening MGNREGS workers that their jobs would go if they don’t attend the party’s rallies. Such tactics won’t work this time. Voters are awakened. They know what Modi is doing for them. The voter is king at the polling station,” he posted on ‘X’.
