“Professor Banerjee had also advised on the Congress manifesto’s revolutionary NYAY scheme. Hope that the scheme will one day become a reality,” the Congress general secretary said. On Monday, Congress president Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi had also hailed Banerjee for winning the Nobel.Congratulating Banerjee, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had said he had helped the party conceptualise its “Nyay” scheme to help remonetise the economy. “Abhijit helped conceptualise NYAY that had the power to destroy poverty and boost the Indian economy.
