BJP’s Claim About MNREGA False!

By-Sajal Singh, and Himanshu Gulati
Recently Bhartiya Janta Party’s official Twitter handle tweeted the photo that made several claims about the government’s performance about MNREGA. Here is the photo tweeted.
         
Summary:
On examination, all the claims made with regard to MNREGA have been found to be false. Contrary to the claims, the number of works completed under MNREGA witnessed significant decrease.
Analysis:
An analysis of the official data provided by the Ministry of Rural Development through its website rebuts the claim and proves it false. We present the detailed fact-checking below:
Clearly, the claims made by the BJP through its official twitter handle with regard to MNREGA works are false and misleading.
The photo makes another claim about the financial allocations of MNREGA.
Claim: Modi Government allocated the highest ever budget for MNREGA of Rs. 38,000 crore in FY 2017, that has been further increased to Rs. 48,000 Crore in FY 2018.
The claim made looks true at first glance however a detailed fact-checking leads us to different conclusion.
The expenditure on MNREGA in the year 2016-17 was not 38,000 crore rupees but 47,499 Crore Rupees since the government had sought the additional funds through two supplementary grants beyond the budgetary allocation of 38,500 crore rupees.
Therefore, the increase in MNREGA allocation is not of 10,000 crore rupees as is claimed by BJP’s Official Twitter handle but that of 501 Crore Rupees Only!

Most BJP Ruled States Fare Worse On Law & Order, Contrary to Amit Shah’s Claim!

Recently, Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) President Amit Shah in a rally in Uttar Pradesh (UP) claimed that the states that are ruled by BJP fare better on law and order when compared with the rest of India.

Since the claim was made several times during the recently concluded elections, we thought it is important to examine the claim and present the truth to the people. On examination, the claim has been found to hold no substance.

Given below is an analysis of the latest data reported by National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), the government body responsible for analyzing the crime related data.

For our analysis, “Crime Rate” has been used as the indicator for comparison. Crime Rate is defined as crimes committed per 100,000 populations. This is a standard indicator used across the world for comparisons.

Since latest data on crime is available for the year 2015 only, we have restricted our analysis to the states which were ruled by BJP in the year 2015.

Findings:

 

 

 

 

Conclusion

The data collected and analyzed by NCRB, a division of Ministry of Home Affairs, clearly suggest that there is no substance in the claim made by BJP President Amit Shah and subsequently reiterated, multiple times, by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The claim is nothing but a political rhetoric.
