Gulbarga, Nov 26: Union Agriculture Minister
Sharad Pawar today indirectly blamed state governments for
failing to implement Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment
Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) programmes efficiently.
    "The Centre is spending Rs 40,000 crore for taking up
programmes under MGNREGA, but state governments were unable to
reach out to the people including farmers," he said addressing
a function at Tadola in Bidar district.
    "The Centre is ready to provide more funds for taking up
developmental works provided the state governments implement
MGNREGA programmes efficiently, he said.
