Budget disconnected from people, states not getting their share of revenue: Amit Mitra

A recent study shows that those above 61 years are joining MGNREGA for their source of livelihood (a sign of desperation in the face of fewer avenues for employment). Yet, they (the central government) have cut down MGNREGA from Rs 89,000 crore to Rs 60,000 crore (almost by a third). The Budget is sending a signal that we do not care for you and you better find some other source of livelihood.
