		&#039;subheading&#039; =&gt; &#039;&#039;,

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The political advantage enjoyed by the Congress for bringing the rural job scheme is under threat with five of its states underpaying workers, a revelation that has prompted the leadership against challenging a court order seeking parity between MGNREGA wages and minimum wages in a state.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Karnataka high court recently ruled that wages under MGNREGA should at least be equal to the notified farm wages. The ruling would result in additional expenditure of Rs 900 crore per year for UPA, which is nudging the rural development ministry to seek an appeal.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
While a judicial challenge runs the risk of painting the Centre as thwarting a better deal for workers, the details about &amp;ldquo;culprit states&amp;rdquo; which have pegged job scheme wages lower than farm wages has deepened the fear of backlash in Congress. Five of the six states have Congress in power &amp;mdash; Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan, Kerala, Goa and Mizoram. The other is BJP-ruled Karnataka.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Congress leadership is wary of its repercussions as it would send a message that the Centre was subverting higher wages for poor workers engaged in hard labour. Sources said rural development minister Jairam Ramesh is against appealing the court order and is pushing for implementation of the verdict. He has proposed that works under MGNREGA be added to the Minimum Wages Act to ensure wage parity as demanded by the HC.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Sources said example of Congress regimes failing the workers would severely neutralize the advantage the ruling party enjoys among rural poor for promulgating the job scheme. &amp;ldquo;Congress would be an easy target,&amp;rdquo; a leader said.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The apprehensions of Congress landing on the wrong side of &amp;ldquo;aam admi&amp;rdquo; come on the back of similar controversy over &amp;lsquo;poverty line&amp;rsquo;. Political rivals and activists pushed Congress on the back foot after Planning Commission told the SC a spending over Rs 32 daily was above &amp;lsquo;poverty line&amp;rsquo;, a stand which triggered a row.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
That these fears are not misplaced has been shown by activist Aruna Roy, who last week wrote to Congress chief Sonia Gandhi to get the HC verdict implemented. The National Advisory Council has also expressed concern over the issue to the ministry.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The HC order came on a petition which challenged the job scheme wages in Karnataka at Rs 82 when farm wages stood at Rs 125 in 2009. The job wages were later revised to Rs 100 but stayed below farm wages of Rs 134.

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The political advantage enjoyed by the Congress for bringing the rural job scheme is under threat with five of its states underpaying workers, a revelation that has prompted the leadership against challenging a court order seeking parity between MGNREGA wages and minimum wages in a state.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Karnataka high court recently ruled that wages under MGNREGA should at least be equal to the notified farm wages. The ruling would result in additional expenditure of Rs 900 crore per year for UPA, which is nudging the rural development ministry to seek an appeal.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
While a judicial challenge runs the risk of painting the Centre as thwarting a better deal for workers, the details about &amp;ldquo;culprit states&amp;rdquo; which have pegged job scheme wages lower than farm wages has deepened the fear of backlash in Congress. Five of the six states have Congress in power &amp;mdash; Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan, Kerala, Goa and Mizoram. The other is BJP-ruled Karnataka.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Congress leadership is wary of its repercussions as it would send a message that the Centre was subverting higher wages for poor workers engaged in hard labour. Sources said rural development minister Jairam Ramesh is against appealing the court order and is pushing for implementation of the verdict. He has proposed that works under MGNREGA be added to the Minimum Wages Act to ensure wage parity as demanded by the HC.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Sources said example of Congress regimes failing the workers would severely neutralize the advantage the ruling party enjoys among rural poor for promulgating the job scheme. &amp;ldquo;Congress would be an easy target,&amp;rdquo; a leader said.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The apprehensions of Congress landing on the wrong side of &amp;ldquo;aam admi&amp;rdquo; come on the back of similar controversy over &amp;lsquo;poverty line&amp;rsquo;. Political rivals and activists pushed Congress on the back foot after Planning Commission told the SC a spending over Rs 32 daily was above &amp;lsquo;poverty line&amp;rsquo;, a stand which triggered a row.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
That these fears are not misplaced has been shown by activist Aruna Roy, who last week wrote to Congress chief Sonia Gandhi to get the HC verdict implemented. The National Advisory Council has also expressed concern over the issue to the ministry.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The HC order came on a petition which challenged the job scheme wages in Karnataka at Rs 82 when farm wages stood at Rs 125 in 2009. The job wages were later revised to Rs 100 but stayed below farm wages of Rs 134.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The political advantage enjoyed by the Congress for bringing the rural job scheme is under threat with five of its states underpaying workers, a revelation that has prompted the leadership against challenging a court order seeking parity between MGNREGA wages and minimum wages in a state.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Karnataka high court recently ruled that wages under MGNREGA should at least be equal to the notified farm wages. The ruling would result in additional expenditure of Rs 900 crore per year for UPA, which is nudging the rural development ministry to seek an appeal.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
While a judicial challenge runs the risk of painting the Centre as thwarting a better deal for workers, the details about &amp;ldquo;culprit states&amp;rdquo; which have pegged job scheme wages lower than farm wages has deepened the fear of backlash in Congress. Five of the six states have Congress in power &amp;mdash; Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan, Kerala, Goa and Mizoram. The other is BJP-ruled Karnataka.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Congress leadership is wary of its repercussions as it would send a message that the Centre was subverting higher wages for poor workers engaged in hard labour.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Sources said example of Congress regimes failing the workers would severely neutralize the advantage the ruling party enjoys among rural poor for promulgating the job scheme. &amp;ldquo;Congress would be an easy target,&amp;rdquo; a leader said.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The political advantage enjoyed by the Congress for bringing the rural job scheme is under threat with five of its states underpaying workers, a revelation that has prompted the leadership against challenging a court order seeking parity between MGNREGA wages and minimum wages in a state.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Karnataka high court recently ruled that wages under MGNREGA should at least be equal to the notified farm wages. The ruling would result in additional expenditure of Rs 900 crore per year for UPA, which is nudging the rural development ministry to seek an appeal.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
While a judicial challenge runs the risk of painting the Centre as thwarting a better deal for workers, the details about &amp;ldquo;culprit states&amp;rdquo; which have pegged job scheme wages lower than farm wages has deepened the fear of backlash in Congress. Five of the six states have Congress in power &amp;mdash; Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan, Kerala, Goa and Mizoram. The other is BJP-ruled Karnataka.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Congress leadership is wary of its repercussions as it would send a message that the Centre was subverting higher wages for poor workers engaged in hard labour. Sources said rural development minister Jairam Ramesh is against appealing the court order and is pushing for implementation of the verdict. He has proposed that works under MGNREGA be added to the Minimum Wages Act to ensure wage parity as demanded by the HC.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Sources said example of Congress regimes failing the workers would severely neutralize the advantage the ruling party enjoys among rural poor for promulgating the job scheme. &amp;ldquo;Congress would be an easy target,&amp;rdquo; a leader said.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The apprehensions of Congress landing on the wrong side of &amp;ldquo;aam admi&amp;rdquo; come on the back of similar controversy over &amp;lsquo;poverty line&amp;rsquo;. Political rivals and activists pushed Congress on the back foot after Planning Commission told the SC a spending over Rs 32 daily was above &amp;lsquo;poverty line&amp;rsquo;, a stand which triggered a row.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
That these fears are not misplaced has been shown by activist Aruna Roy, who last week wrote to Congress chief Sonia Gandhi to get the HC verdict implemented. The National Advisory Council has also expressed concern over the issue to the ministry.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The HC order came on a petition which challenged the job scheme wages in Karnataka at Rs 82 when farm wages stood at Rs 125 in 2009. The job wages were later revised to Rs 100 but stayed below farm wages of Rs 134.

The political advantage enjoyed by the Congress for bringing the rural job scheme is under threat with five of its states underpaying workers, a revelation that has prompted the leadership against challenging a court order seeking parity between MGNREGA wages and minimum wages in a state.  The Karnataka high court recently ruled that wages under MGNREGA should at least be equal to the notified farm wages. The ruling would result in additional expenditure of Rs 900 crore per year for UPA, which is nudging the rural development ministry to seek an appeal.  While a judicial challenge runs the risk of painting the Centre as thwarting a better deal for workers, the details about “culprit states” which have pegged job scheme wages lower than farm wages has deepened the fear of backlash in Congress. Five of the six states have Congress in power — Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan, Kerala, Goa and Mizoram. The other is BJP-ruled Karnataka.  The Congress leadership is wary of its repercussions as it would send a message that the Centre was subverting higher wages for poor workers engaged in hard labour. Sources said rural development minister Jairam Ramesh is against appealing the court order and is pushing for implementation of the verdict. He has proposed that works under MGNREGA be added to the Minimum Wages Act to ensure wage parity as demanded by the HC.  Sources said example of Congress regimes failing the workers would severely neutralize the advantage the ruling party enjoys among rural poor for promulgating the job scheme. “Congress would be an easy target,” a leader said.  The apprehensions of Congress landing on the wrong side of “aam admi” come on the back of similar controversy over ‘poverty line’. Political rivals and activists pushed Congress on the back foot after Planning Commission told the SC a spending over Rs 32 daily was above ‘poverty line’, a stand which triggered a row.  That these fears are not misplaced has been shown by activist Aruna Roy, who last week wrote to Congress chief Sonia Gandhi to get the HC verdict implemented. The National Advisory Council has also expressed concern over the issue to the ministry.  The HC order came on a petition which challenged the job scheme wages in Karnataka at Rs 82 when farm wages stood at Rs 125 in 2009. The job wages were later revised to Rs 100 but stayed below farm wages of Rs 134.
