BJP uses Gandhi, Lord Ram for propaganda, don't follow their ideals: Surjewala on VB-G RAM G
Potential large-scale harm to 50 crore poor people due to reduced work opportunities.
Randeep Singh Surjewala, a Congress leader, criticized the Narendra Modi government's replacement of the MGNREGA with VB-G RAM G. He claimed that the new law has impacted 50 crore poor people and directly impacts 12.5 crore individuals. Surjewala argued that the new system is centralized and will likely lead to a reduction in work opportunities for the poor due to financial constraints on states. The Congress plans to launch a campaign, "MGNREGA Bachho Sangram," opposing the new law.
