‘VB-G RAM G’ Bill will weaken MGNREGA: Priyanka Gandhi
The bill potentially weakens a crucial social safety net for the poor.
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Congress general secretary, criticized the Modi government's proposed Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Grameen) Bill, 2025. She argued that the bill weakens the original MGNREGA by reducing guaranteed employment to the poorest of the poor and removing local decision-making power from gram panchayats. The Congress party has strongly objected to the bill, calling it a "hollow" gesture and an attack on Mahatma Gandhi's ideals.
