New Delhi: MGNREGA, the rural job guarantee scheme that completes 10 years on Tuesday, is set to touch off a fresh battle of political messaging, with the Modi government deciding to consecrate the scheme as a government priority and Rahul Gandhi travelling to a remote Andhra hamlet to celebrate it as a Congress programme.

The competition between BJP and Congress for ownership of the programme marks a rare political consensus over the desirability of the pro-poor measure.

On Monday, Union rural development ministry dubbed MGNREGA a "national pride", marking a radical change of heart from the 2015 budget session when Prime Minister Narendra Modi told Parliament that it was the "living monument of Congress's failures" which he would keep alive as a reminder to people.

The ministry's move on the eve of the programme's anniversary makes it clear that Congress may no longer have uncontested bragging rights over the job scheme. The BJP and Congress have announced different programmes to fete MGNREGA on Tuesday, in what is seen as an attempt to woo the rural poor ahead of the coming election season and beyond.
