BJP and JD(S) accuse Congress of misleading people on VB-G RAM G scheme, welcome special session

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its ally, the Janata Dal (Secular), accused the Congress government in Karnataka of spreading misinformation about the Union government's VB-G RAM G scheme. They argued that the scheme is a major rural employment program aimed at strengthening gram panchayats and social audits, and that it does not dilute the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA). The BJP leaders called for an open debate on the scheme and accused the Congress of failing to address corruption and fake bills under MGNREGA. The alliance also welcomed Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's decision to convene a special session to discuss the scheme.
