NDA has weakened legal guarantee of rural employment: Congress

Congress members criticized the BJP-led Central government for repealing the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), arguing that the move shifts financial responsibility to state governments and weakens rural employment guarantees. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu appealed to the Centre for additional funding, highlighting the inherent flaw in the new VB-G RAM G Act. The Congress called for the government to provide additional support to offset reduced funding and ensure national responsibility for rural employment.
