'The aim of the 'Nyay' scheme is two-fold. First is to guarantee a minimum income to the bottom 20 per cent families. The second is to remonetise the economy that has been demonetised by Modiji,' Gandhi said.

Addressing a public rally in Akhnoor, J&K, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that it is because of Congress, NC & PDP that Kashmiri Pandits faced so much trouble blaming them for not prioritizing national security and only caring about power.

Congress leader P Chidambaram is confident that the minimum income guarantee scheme will cost 1.8% of the GDP at any given time, and as per the party's calculations, it \"will not cross 2% of the GDP\".

PM Narendra Modi will kick-off his political campaign for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections tomorrow. He will visit Jammu and Kashmir for his first political rally.

As per media report, Angus Deaton, the British economist who won the Nobel Prize in 2015, and French economist Thomas Piketty are advising the Congress on its ambitious minimum income guarantee scheme. The other people rumoured to be consulted are economist Abhijit Banerjee and former RBI governor Raghuram Rajan.
