Centre set for NREGA showdown [1]

NEW DELHI

The Centre is preparing for a possible showdown with the states over its flagship programme National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA). The bone of contention between the two is arbitrary hike in the minimum wages by major states in the post NREGA regime, which is likely to put an additional burden on the Central exchequer by Rs 6,000 crores.
