Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said that former Reserve Bank of India governor Raghuram Rajan was among top economists that the party consulted to draft its minimum income guarantee scheme Nyuntam Aay Yojana or NYAY. Announced yesterday, the scheme assures up to Rs. 72,000 a year or Rs. 6,000 a month to 20 per cent of India's poorest families if the Congress is voted back to power in the Lok Sabha elections next month.
