Congress manifesto Promise # 2

The second from the manifesto is given below : Congress Manifesto - Peoples hope

Promise # 2 : We will build on the sucess of NREGA and take the scheme forward by doing the following:

1) At least 100 days work at Rs 100 a day for everyone under the NREGA. The Payment for work done 2 years back is still pending in few villages as per various investigations. Thats just the beginning of the problems.Flight of labour, underpaid labourers and more are a common sight in UP itself.

2) National Food Security Act - 25 kgs of rics or wheat at rs 3 per kg. Will have to see if the rice or wheat is available, especailly since we seem to have excess of wheat this year.

3) Subsidised community kitchens in all cities for homeless and migrants.Will this be possible? how does the government plan to implement this?
The Promise # 2 can be accessed based on the implementation of each of above 3 targets.
