As stated by Ghormade (2011), NREGA, the Union government's flagship anti-poverty programme that promises 100 days of employment every year to the rural poor, is partly credited with driving the Congress led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) to victory in the April-May general election. Although this act was introduced with an aim of improving the purchasing power of the rural people, primarily semi or un-skilled work to people living in rural India, whether or not they are below poverty line.
