Yet another Centre-State controversy has surfaced with the Centre saying that Karnataka is yet to submit any proposal seeking an increase in the number of man-days under the MGNREGA from 100 to 150 in drought-hit areas though the State has petitioned the Centre in this regard multiple times.
The issue has come to light with the Centre informing Sumalatha, MP, in a written reply in the Lok Sabha on December 12 that it has not received any proposal from Karnataka.
The issue came to the fore on Thursday with Congress member K.M. Shivalinge Gowda raising it in the Assembly during the Zero Hour.
