Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 14 (UNI) AICC General Secretary K C Venugopal MP has called upon the Kerala Legislative Assembly to pass a resolution demanding the restoration of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGA) in its original form, strongly opposing the Centre’s recent amendments. Elaborating on the issue, Venugopal said the Kerala government should emulate Telangana and Karnataka, where decisive steps were taken against the Centre’s move. The Telangana Assembly unanimously adopted a resolution seeking the withdrawal of the new employment guarantee law, while the Karnataka government convened a special Assembly session to deliberate on the matter.
