The MGNREGA Act states that wages should be paid within 15 days, but this is not happening. The roads that animals never used to go on are now being used by luxury cars because those roads were built by MGNREGA workers. Rahul Ji is our Member of Parliament, and he assured us that he will provide all possible help," he said.
