Ok. And what does that have to do with what I said? 

India's rapid economic growth rate since 1991 is one of the main reasons for a record decline in poverty.[18][19][121] Another reason proposed is India's launch of social welfare programs such as the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) and the Midday Meal Scheme in government schools.[122] In a 2012 study, Klonner and Oldiges, concluded that MGNREGA helps reduce rural poverty gap (intensity of rural poverty) and seasonal poverty, but not overall poverty

Quoting wiki to make a point. Manrega was modified so much after 2014. Nobody in Wiki will write about the schemes of Modi Govt, mainly in MSME sector, with small loans of less than 1 lakh . Attributing all to MAnrega .. oknp 

People were lifted out of extreme poverty from 2005 and government policies did help. Just like BJP's free food and 6000 rs to poor farmer is helping .

 

As far msme is concerned demo, gst and covid lockdown were extremely harsh on them. From 2016 onwards. Let's see if they improve in future or not

People were lifted out of poverty due to India's economic growth. Not due to some scam by UPA.

Before the financial inclusion of people in banks where money could directly be given to them, noone even knows whether the actual recipients even got their monies properly. The above article talks about all the issues with MNREGA that have largely been addressed now. 

 

The only thing Congress and its allies did well in the UPAs were to loot and scam the country consistently.
