Congress Full PC: Minimum wage scheme is not 'top-up scheme'

Congress today held a press conference on minimum income guarantee scheme. Randeep Surjewala briefed the media saying, "First Rs 72,000 will be given to 20% of the poorest families annually. There was some confusion earlier. This is not a top up scheme. Rs 72,000  will be given to every poor household."
"PM Modi can wear suit worth of Rs 10 lakhs, can spend crores on foreign trips, can give Rs 30,000 crore to Anil Ambani, but won't accept us giving financial security to crores of people,"he added.
