Nitish dismisses CAG findings on MNREGA

Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar on Wednesday told the Centre that implementation of MGNREGA was suffering due to non-availability of funds, as the state government rejected the CAG’s findings on the ambitious rural job scheme as totally ‘untrue and deceptive’.

‘I have recently reviewed the implementation of MGNREGA in the state and it has been noticed that progress of implementation is suffering due to non-availability of funds,’ Kumar said in a letter written to Union rural development minister Jairam Ramesh.
